Commentary
The attested form is too fragmentary to be amenable to an etymological analysis; an abreviation or fragment of a personal name is feasible. The sequence ka- appears also as isolated ka, in other possible abbreviations ka(, kat, kai, initially in the personal names kasiuos, kaio, kaialoiso, kaputus, as well as uncertain katua.
