{ka} doesn't have an x2.
You're right!
I once swore blind that I had a ma'oste
showing that it did, much to Lojbab's consternation, first,
and to my embarrassment, later, when I checked and found I had
misremembered.
I was convinced that it had one too. In any case, {seka} will parse,
and it has an obvious meaning, considering ka-ckaji.
Before proposing {kai'i} I had thought of proposing that {ka}
be given an x2, but I see no reason for the x1, since the x1
is the same as what's contained in the ka bridi.
Much like du'u. Syntactically they're not quite the same though,
one is a sumti and the other a bridi.
Proposing
{kai'i} seems more consistent with the baseline and with
desirable place structures.
Much less likely to be used, though. I like the possibility
of things like {le seka mi djuno le du'u ce'u klama} instead
of {ko'a voi mi djuno le du'u ke'a klama}. Very nice!
