Thank you for your reply. I see your problem now. This is intriguing -

official -newey- rather than -nwest- which was written in 1997. You
may also choose to inspect the source code yourself by

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
