- @Saltmarsh, Flyax, Xoristzatziki Any thoughts? Can this be attested anywhere that you know to look? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:15, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Cannot find it anywhere. Except in web and printed materials, where is possibly wrong accentuation or (in some cases) a pun for "Κάκα" (a football player). --Xoristzatziki (talk) 04:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- I am sure that I've heard it, used by children or by elderly people speaking to or about children. --flyax (talk) 08:49, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

- According to perseus.tufts.edu, in Ancient Greek, this is an inflected form of κάκη. - -sche (discuss) 02:10, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
