Almost all CV(')V cmavo have the same form of a rafsi of something. My
guess is the ones that are related to that something are in  the
minority. "ka'e" was obviously taken from "kakne", yes, but the
connection is kind of malglico. Similarly "pe'i" comes from "pensi",
"ti'e" from "tirna", and thare are other mnemonics that go through
malglico glosses.

In jbovlaste "ka'e" is defined as "fi'o se cumki". But since I wrote
that definition I guess I can't count that as evidence. :)

But whose ability? Each of the arguments of the relation modified by
"ka'e"? The x1? The agent (assuming there is one)?

I agree that the word "ability" should not appear in the definition of
CAhAs, since events don't really have abilities.

I agree. I have said before that it is extremely weird that a logical
language doesn't have a word for the "necessarily" operator.
