As I said, I would rather that functions be predicates, as irt makes for less
confusion
and shows the role better: evaluating a new, but related, predicate rather
than a comment on how the old predicate is evaluated.

We have some of those as gismu (mutce, milxe, dukse...), but I'm
not sure whether they can take the predicate as an argument.
Can we say for example:

  le du'u le xirma cu bajra cu mutce le ka ce'u jetnu
  That the horse is running is much in truth.

(Or perhaps in some other property?) Also there is {va'e}, which
we were in the wiki trying to figure out how it works.

{na} is a connective, so none of the categories outlined. It has fixed rules
within any evaluation system (and those rules have to fall within a fairly
limited range: inversion, True-n, rotation left or right.  I can't think of
any other plausible {na} at the moment.)

I'm not sure I see the difference between connective and function.
(I understand that it can be called connective as an extension
of true connectives that connect two things, but it can be
confusing.) Can't a function have fixed rules?
