I had supposed that "i kakne play the trombone" is false but
"cumki I play the trombone" is true, under average assumptions.
I don't see a difference between cumki and su'o mu'ei/ba'oi.
So either cumki is equivalent to kakne or else either ka'e is
not equivalent to kakne or ka'e is not equivalent to su'o mu'ei.
I'm a bit hazy about what exactly kakne and "innately capable"
mean, though.
