For instance, when words like "ghaṭa" [jar] are connected with [the particle] "na" in expressions like "aghaṭa" [non-jar], there is comprehension of something else like "paṭa" [cloth], and thus the meaning of the word "ghaṭa" without [the particle] "na" is understood through the exclusion of that [other thing]; [but] such a connection with "na" does not exist for particles like "ca" in expressions like "na ca."
