Kalåktos (ka-LUCK-tus): Sharp, keen, acute.
Uses:
"Adahi sa' kalåktos ennao na se'se'." = "Be careful because that knife is sharp."
"Hu guåsa' i fesiños sa' ti kalåktos." = "I sharpened the hoe because it wasn't sharp."
"Usa fan i mås kalåktos na machete." = "Use the sharpest machete."
Usually, kalåktos is reserved specifically for the keen edge of something, but I've also heard it used in another way:
"Gof kalåktos i palabrå-mu." = "Your words are sharp/to the point/harsh."
