I was thinking about this, and I think I've used it before, but
isn't {ka} on the same footing as {du'u} in that it always designates
the only member of a singleton set? {ka} gives you a propositional
function, where {du'u} gives you a proposition, so though there's
any number of possible propositions for the selkai, the function
itself is the one and only function which is described by whatever
is to the right of the {ka}.
Is this correct? (then if so, the result is that we should always
use {le} (or {lo'e} for some, but I still don't understand that
fully) with {ka}, like {du'u}).
(The thing that brought this up is that I was using abstractor
connectives---I wanted le'e nu and le ka. Since the gadri are
different I got to thinking about this. (I ended up having the
gadri for {nu} "take precedence" in the connected thing (as
le'e nujeka), justified by the gadri for {ka} being essentially
only syntactic since it is always {le})).
