Definition
珂 (kē) is a bound form (粘着语素) meaning 'a jade-like stone'. In modern Chinese it rarely appears as an independent word; you mainly see it in personal names (e.g., 珂珂), in technical terms like 珂罗版 (collotype printing), or in classical literary references. As a bound form, it always attaches to another character to form a word.
