In Lojban jargon, this term is equivalent to "modals", but I won't assume anything based on that. Modals are done by borrowing a place of a different predicate, where many arbitrarily-selected predicates have cmavo equivalents for modals. And I think that system is ugly, which is why I suggested "ho" + possible be/ce/de + predicate. -- Rob Speer
