ke'a would not work for the proposed marker because it already has an
assigned meaning, and it is easy to envision conflict in that meaning
(unless I am missing something).   What happens when the reference is
inside a relative clause and is NOT the relativized pronoun.  Composing
on the fly something like:
lo nanmu poi ganse leka le rozgu cu se panci
I don't even see a way to use ke'a in the abstraction, and if it did, it would
refer to the man.

Most of the gismu that have abstractions seem to be such that the focused
place in the property abstraction is an echo of x1.  If you have
a relative clause such that the relativized pronoun is NOT that x1, then
you have a conflict in use of ke'a.
