Yes, the first example I gave isn't good. The point of this ma kau is 
that it appears outside of an abstraction, but of course what you show 
is still a problem. The usage of that ma kau would be limited to outside 
of abstractions.

Well, I'm not sure that's true. Many natlangs use a Wh-question word for 
this construction. French has n'importe ou/quoi/qui etc, English has 
whatever/wherever, German has wo auch immer, wer auch immer, sonstwo... 
So maybe there really is a hint of a question there, if just in that the 
speaker indirectly talks about the possible answer without saying what 
it is.

For the other meanings of any, su'o/ro/no is still the way to go, but I 
don't think anybody argues with that anyway.
