κάκα

The stress is completely wrong. Kaká, not káka - as a person who lived in Greece for years here and never heard anyone say this.

@Saltmarsh, Flyax, Xoristzatziki Any thoughts? Can this be attested anywhere that you know to look? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/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)

Neither of my Greek dictionaries lists the paroxytone form. My Collins English-Greek gives both forms - and Google counts over 3k. Should it be entered as a misspelling ?   — Saltmarsh^{συζήτηση-talk} 06:07, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

I have changed the Modern Greek entry to "misspelling" and removed the rfv.   — Saltmarsh^{συζήτηση-talk} 05:23, 29 July 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)
