n.— «s. I didn’t have time to get away, and got shot in the leg by the rat pa kaka [note : Creole term for “rats that are still-living”].…It’s getting worse because nobody can talk about the rat pa kaka doing such things. If you tell the police, they can exterminate your whole family, so everyone is afraid to talk.» —“Caught in Haiti’s Crossfire” Haiti-News.com Apr. 1, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
