Another approach to the original problem of this topic. With time, ko'a and ko'e may vary in the property that we are interested in, that's why we refer to the past state of ko'e. Let's think of an imaginary "proxy". Let it be exactly equal to ko'e in our property of interest at a certain moment in the past. Let it not vary in that property in time. Now we can compare ko'a with the proxy.

ko'a ca zmadu lo stodi be vo'i je dunli be ko'e bei vo'i bei pu
ko'a currently exceeds something that was equal to ko'e and didn't change since then
