mustn’t

Maybe this is the non-native speaker in me, but do you mean ‘can’t’? I thought ‘mustn’t’ means ‘may not’: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/must_not

This might be a difference in dialect. I mean ‘mustn’t’ as in ‘must not’.

Example sentence: “His shoes aren’t here. I guess he must not be home then.” —> “I guess he mustn’t be home then.”

This sentence is much more natural than “His shoes aren’t here. I guess he cannot be home then.”
