Most importantly, you haven't told me where "ne" came from.
I use it to mean "yes?"  (as in, "do you agree?") and only at the end of

Anyone recognise it?

Doh!  How about the simple "ne c'est pas?" in the now-forbidden language?

Actually, the french expression is "n'est-ce pas?".
Sorry, I didn't want to become a grammar cop... :-/
