They are an open class equivalent to BAI. The selbri inside can be converted 
with SE.

{ka'a} is grammatically not a tense marker, but a member of BAI.

Sometimes tense is conflated with aspect and mood, the whole thing being called 
tense; sometimes they are separated. We should probably have words for both. 
In Lojban, aspects and tenses are expressed in the same way, but with different 
selma'o; mood, however, is expressed differently. The modals (CAhA) are part of 
the tense-aspect system, but subjunctive and irrealis are expressed with some 
members of UI, and the imperative is expressed with a pronoun.
