If you're interested, this word was "discovered" for the translation of
Alice:

»What I was going to say,« said the Dodo in an offended tone, »was, that
the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.«

{»vay' vIchupta' vIneH,« jatlh cha'Do' 'ej ghaH mawlaw' ghu',
»maQaD'eghmoHmeH wa' mIw lI'qu' vISov: yejquv Do qaD 'oH.«}


First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, [...]
{taghDI’, ravDaq Do qaD He ghItlh, loQ gho rur. }
