If you shorten the first vowel in "kaka" you get "kacka", which means "to shit" in Swedish. From the latin "cacare".

I has no idea about the latin word cacare... In Slovak "to poop" is kakat...

kakken in dutch xD

caca - shit - spanish

Same in french.

It's from a PIE root and found in one form or another in most European languages.

And interestingly it's often related to circle and bread in many languages:

Pi, Pie, Pide, Pita, Pizza, Piadina, Pirog (Russian for "pie"), Piscina (circular basin), Pipe.

Also, some Russian words for organs that have to do with piss (which are naturally circular) also start with "Pi".

"PIE" in this sense being an abbreviation for "Proto Indo-European".

Missed that, but so apt anyway!

Are you agreeing, disagreeing, or saying that more experimentation is needed?
