It's not that I want to use "ka'e" for "it's possible", it's the other
way around, I want "it's possible", or "it could be", for "ka'e".

So what you need to tell us is not how you'd say "it's possible", but
how you'd understand for example "ka'e ku no da klama".

> I'd personally choose to not use a CAhA at all, but la'acu'i

Something can also be possible and extremely likely, or possible and
extremely unlikely. If "possible" corresponds to "su'o", then the la'a
scale corresponds to so'a/so'e/so'i/so'o/so'u.

That was my point, "ka'e ku broda" has basically the same meanimg as
"cumki fa lo nu broda". Or more precisely, "ka'e" is "fi'o se cumki".

"If I can I will"? I count five syllables.
