Then, I wondered how long I must wait before seeing my Double, but if I recalled, theKa was not supposed to appear before the seventy days of embalming were done.
1603, Michel de Montaigne, translated byJohn Florio,Essays, III.5:
Now nature stood ever on this point,Kæ mee Ilekæ thee, and ever ready to bee even alwaies on recompences and vicissitude of things, and to give as good as one brings.
Likely a loan word fromNivkhӿа(ha) (bearing the same meaning), given that the traps were of the same type and that sable hunting was taken up on Sakhalin for export to Qing China, to whom the Nivkh were nearer.
From earlier *kaha, fromProto-Albanian*koso, fromProto-Indo-European*kʷeh₁s-(“scratch, cut”). For sense development, compare Slavic *volь - ox, from *valiti - to throw down, castrate.[2]Alternatively, the plural formqe suggests an earlier *kʷē, fromProto-Indo-European*gʷṓws(“ox, cow”) via an unidentified Indo-European language.[3]

Arthur E. Gordon,The Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet (University of California Press, 1973; volume 9 ofUniversity of California Publications: Classical Studies), part III: “Summary of the Ancient Evidence”, page 32 Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū — each, again, with a long vowel sound.

c.500 AD, Kaccāyana,Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar][11] (overall work in Pali), page12; republished asSatish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor,Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society,1901:
Ka is a switching conjunction. When it links two clauses or sentences, it conveys that the second clause has a different subject from the first. In cases where the subject remains the same, the conjunctionmunu is used. In the example above, the subject of the second clause need not be "the kangaroo", although that seems the most likely possibility from context. Theku simply tells us that someone or something other thanwati (the subject of the first clause) ran away.
Althoughka is spelt with a shorta, the vowel is actually long (kaa). The misleading spelling exists for historical reasons.
In most circumstances this particle is found in the second position in a sentence (immediately after the first constituent). Occasionally, for unclear reasons, it may appear elsewhere.
