The Book says that {ca'e} is also used for performatives. It does
make some sense: And God said "I hereby declare there to be light",
and there was light.

I'm not sure I see how {ko} would be safer, especially if God
is talking to the heavenly host. I prefer not to put anything
to set x1 appart in any case. The heavenly host might respond
{ki'a i mi gusni ma ma} and then God would have had to start
creation with something else.
