Usage notes
- This is an abstractor which applied to a selbri returns a sumti which describes the quality of that selbri. For example, for the selbri blanu (“blue”), ka blanu would mean "blueness".
- The elidable terminator for a phrase begun with ka is kei.
- Use kei only if it has an effect on the parse structure and that effect is desirable; otherwise kei can be elided.
