@check Num expects a negative

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/num#Latin

however the English "can you walk?" expects neither yes or no.

To expect the negative, the English would be, "You can't walk, can you?"

I've added what I think the meaning is; as you can see the meanings of the two available translations are opposite.

@jimkillock, for the reasons already stated somewhere else, I'll leave this as it is.
