Wake or halo can be used indiscriminately as a negative prefix, though if the word following wake starts with a "K" sound, use halo. It sounds better. Compare:
wake kull | halo kull |
wake kumtux | halo kumtux |
wake cole | halo cole |
wake klatawa | halo klatawa |

When a word is needed that is not in the jargon, sometimes forming a negative compound works. For example:
far = siah | near = not far = wake siah |
heavy = till | light = not heavy = halo till |
many = hiyu | some = not many = wake hiyu |
win = tolo | fail = not win = wake tolo |
soft, smooth = klimin | rough = not soft, not smooth = halo klimin |
sharp = tsish | dull = not sharp = halo tsish |
