  Refs:
as -つかぬ in jawikt and daijr, as -つかない in daijs and 
jitsuyo
~も判らない does get a few hits though (on google books, 
6 vs 195 for -つかない)
At any rate, there's an audio file for this one so I'll 
make a new entry for つかない rather than change this 
one.
  Comments:
probably does't conjugate much but I think adj-i is helpful 
to explain the usage. (daijs example: 「始めたばかりで、まだ
―◦ない新商売だ」)
