About 辞書形 + な ⇒ ます形 + な
In 関西弁, the way that the sentence ending particle な interacts with verbs is slightly different than in standard Japanese. Usually, な will appear after the dictionary form of verbs, to command/order that someone 'not do (A)'. However, in the Kansai region, な will be attached to the conjunctive form of verbs. The conjunctive form is also known as the ます form.
The meaning of な after these verbs will remain the same as in standard Japanese, commanding that something not be done.
