 KA means connection. BaybayinAlive.com
The baybayin of KA means connection.

KA is two wavy lines laid parellel with a line joining the two of them at their center.

To some ka represents two rivers (wavy lines) joined by a center line. 

         

To others, it represents to spirits(wavy lines) joined by a center line.

So when you know what the syllable of KA does within Filipino words, that is, creates a relation or connection ((kapatid(sibling), kasintahan(loved-one), kapwa(fellow), kalakbay(fellow journeyer). ka-klase(classmate)). 

 

So when you see the meaning of KA with its actual baybayin symbol, it seems immensely appropriate.

KA also means connection between the heaven and earth:

Ka from ‘Katawo-an’ (Human race) – the last creation by the two Gods, the Gods created the Human race so that they can take care of the world that they built.

Akopito’s baybayin interpretations come from a visayan standpoint but still fit closely in with other Philippine origins and viewpoints.
