Getting ahead of myself, I will say only one thing: he [Ivan Fyodorovich] was, that evening, precisely just on the verge of brain fever, which finally took complete possession of his organism, long in disorder but stubbornly refusing to succumb (2a).♦ [Бусыгин:] Ну, не будем забегать вперёд, но вы мне уже нравитесь (Вампилов 4).

114 ka
сущ.; SK, DT••ка или КаМожно понимать как долг, судьба. В просторечии, место, куда ты должен пойти. Истинное значение слова гораздо шире и практически не поддается определению, как это часто бывает со словами Высокой Речи. (по материалам сайта stephenking.ru)см. тж High Speech, ka-tet••The gunslinger wondered how the man whose mind had become temporary home for the gunslinger’s own ka, could be so stupid. — Стрелок недоумевал, как человек, чей разум стал временным пристанищем самого его ка (духа), мог быть таким глупцом. (ТБ 2)
After one desperate, despairing moment, the gunslinger followed him; physical and full of hot physical ache at one moment, nothing but cool ka in Eddie’s head at the next. — После секундного томительного, разрывающего на части сомнения, Стрелок последовал за ним, какое-то мгновение в физической оболочке, переполненный обжигающей физической болью, в следующее – не более чем бесстрастное ка в голове Эдди. (ТБ 2)
So he was the last, and perhaps he had survived because the dark romance in his nature was overset by his practicality and simplicity. He understood that only three things mattered: mortality, ka, and the Tower. — Итак он был последним, и выжил он, вероятно, потому, что мрачная романтика его души уступила место практичности и умеренности. Для него существовало только три вещи, имеющие значение: вероятность умереть, Ка и Башня. (ТБ 2)
“What’s ka?” Eddie’s voice was truculent. “I never heard of it. Except if you say it twice you come out with the baby word for shit.” / “I don’t know about that,” the gunslinger said. “Here it means duty, or destiny, or, in the vulgate, a place you must go.” — Что ещё за ка? – голос Эдди звучал агрессивно. – Никогда раньше не слышал такого слова. Разве что только, если повторить его дважды, по-детски получиться дерьмо. / – Не знаю, как там у вас, – ответил Стрелок. – Здесь оно означает долг, или судьба, или, на низком наречии, место, куда ты должен пойти. (ТБ 2)
… The gunslinger shrugged. “I don’t discuss philosophy. I don’t study history. All I know is what’s past is past, and what’s ahead is ahead. The second is ka, and takes care of itself.” / “Yeah?” Eddie looked northward. “Well all I see ahead is about nine billion miles of this same fucking beach. If that’s what’s ahead, ka and kaka are the same thing…” — Стрелок пожал плечами. – Я не философствую. Не созерцаю историю. Я знаю только, что былого не вернуть, а грядущего не избежать. Последнее это и есть Ка, и оно в ответе только за себя. / – Да ну? – Эдди посмотрел на север. – Всё, что я вижу, нам грядёт, это девять миллиардов миль всё того же грёбаного берега. Если нам это уготовано, то ка и кака – точно одно и то же… (ТБ 2)
“Never mind, Eddie. What is, is.” / “Ka,” Eddie said. / The gunslinger nodded and smiled faintly. “Ka.” — Выкинь из головы, Эдди. Есть только то, что есть. / – Ка, – сказал Эдди. / Стрелок кивнул с едва заметной улыбкой. – Ка. (ТБ 2)
