Greetings,

This is in part a grammatical question – what pronoun does कइयों ने come from, please? कई, perhaps?

This page has many examples:

कई लोगों ने

Explanation:
It means कई लोगों ने
yes, it comes from कई but the addition of the plural suffix ओं after the ई gives us यों making the long vowel form unnecessary. Hope that is what you were looking for.
