Stop right there.   Nobody says, or has ever said, any such thing.
It's "kedas", not "kedaas".   That takes care of all your questions.

It doesn't matter what they understand.   The terms of the kesuba are
binding even if there is no document at all.  Most of the tena'i kesuba
are not even mentioned in it, but they're still binding.   (Oh, and the
parties to the kesuba DON'T sign it.  Only the eidim do.)
