Can {ke'a} safely refer to a sumti which is at a different structure level? Example:

le cmene be le prenu poi do stidi le nu mi penmi ke'a
(the name of the man whom you are suggesting I meet)

ke'a = le prenu ?

Yes. From CLL 8:1:

Of course, there is no reason why ``ke'a'' needs to appear in the x1 place of a relative clause bridi; it can appear in any place, or indeed even in a sub-bridi within the relative clause bridi. Here are two more examples:

1.5) tu poi le mlatu pu lacpu ke'a ku'o cu ratcu
That-distant-thing such-that( the cat [past] drags IT ) is-a-rat.
That thing which the cat dragged is a rat.
What the cat dragged is a rat.

1.6) ta poi mi djica le nu mi ponse ke'a [kei] ku'o
cu bloti
That-thing such-that( I desire the event-of( I own IT ) ) is-a-boat.
