Can you explain kkna'a? Is it short for kkna'ako'e?

I didn't put a lot of thought into that part of the sentence because I was mainly trying to sort the ramifications of Jorge's implicit situation solution, but yes it would be short for kkna'ako'e and more specifically for "lo fo le ckle ctka'ake kkna'ako".
