khams na sgun 'brum (rgun 'brum) skems pa la kra ka srung dgos pas / de la dang po kra ka gcig bsad de gsob phyar bas des thub skad. They say that in Khams, when they dry raisins, they have to protect them from the kra-ka. So first they kill a kra-ka and fly it as a scarecrow (?), and that does the job. Zhi-byed Coll. I 417.5. Here it seems to be a strange spelling for ka ka, or, kā ka ('crow'), although it may intend another bird.
