KADEJAK: the Creole word for rape  may come from the name of Colonel Cadet
Jacques (Kadejak), one of the main characters in the novel  "Zoune chez sa
ninnaine" by Justin Lhrisson, 1906, 109p.

Madame Boyotte, Zoune's godmother, was Colonel Cadet Jacques' concubine. A
good
part of the novel deals with Col. Cadet
Jacques' maneuvers to seduce Zoune.
