Google Ngrams' earliest hit for kalo is Narrative of a journey in the
Morea, 1823, by Sir William Gell. P.376, "The people seemed rather
pleased that I approved of their liquor, and all in chorus cried out
Kalo kalo krassi, good wine."
Pisicho is also a Micronesian atoll, perhaps used as a trap for a
submariner?
