kaik

Mk-a-tah-mish-o-kh-kaik, the Black Hawk; in his war dress and paint.

One generally crosses the Golden Horn, into which the sweet water runs, in a kaik.

He hustled us into a waiting kaik, and ordered the kaiktche to row to the Batoum.

Would he not, when he found I was gone, take one of those nutshells of a Kaik instead of another boat, and be drowned?

It was a light kaik, he knew from the almost noiseless ripple of the water as the sharp prow cut it.
