I found some, but not the right ones. I found one place where you discussed some other aspect of modals. I found the place where you first introduced the aspects (pu'o and za'o and the like. But I haven't found your discussion of CAhA *YET* %^)

You NEVER change you mind  ... except when you do.  zo'o

You didn't call the members of CAhA "modals". They were alternatives to "ca'a" as interpretations for timeless claims (which people kept calling "tenseless tense"). And I think "flammable" was one of the concepts that was included in the discussion.

I keep on thinking you used the words intensional and extensional somewhere in the discussion, but since I never really understood those words and you used them at other times, I could be wrong about said usage.
