Does "ky" refer to "kensa prenu"? I expected "kypy" or just "py".

I would use ky myself, although I wouldn't have minded kypy. I
understand what you are getting at, that prenu is the "main" gismu of
the tanru, but the fact remains that it is acting together as a unit
(tanru). It would be no different than in English calling a mailbox
by M, not B, or police officer by P, not O.
