le ka, le du'u, yes.

I think the best solution would be to assign unquantified {lo} 
to Kind. Otherwise, I prefer {lo'e} to anything in LAhE. I'm
not so sure about a {lau} in LE: it is monosyllabic, but I'd have
to get used to it.

{lo} for Kind would not involve any drastic change in usage,
but it would require some changes to CLL and especially in how
we teach it.

I enjoy using it and trying to make do with what we have, yes.
