[lojban] Origin of potentiality and capability modals

[Lionel Bonnetier <leo@easynet.fr>]

From: Lionel Bonnetier <leo@easynet.fr>

A friend of mine working on semantic representation in software is now on
the deeper meaning of the auxiliary verbs in English. I'm interested in
knowing whether the modals ka'e, nu'o, pu'i (especially the latter) all have
equivalents in some natural languages, or were coined for Lojban. Thank you.

Happy new year!

Lionel
