Negation

The verbal negation is conveyed by the negative adverb wī. This adverb is placed after the conjugated verbal form, namely before either the main verb, an auxiliary, or a modal verb, but before other unconjugated verbal forms.

äs subä cerun → äs subä cerun 
the dog is sleeping → The dog isn't sleeping
äs subä ṕäs cerunühä → äs subä ṕäs  cerunühä
the dog can sleep → The dog cannot sleep

Double negatives are generally allowed, and often used.
