Description:

The term 'pepe' means 'baby' or 'infant'. It looks like a loanword due to its resemblance to western European words for 'baby', but it was in fact coined by Davidson and comes fomr Old Common. It generally applies to infants and children before the toddler stage. Unlike most words for children, pepe, along with singku, has a generally positive tone.

As a verb, pepe is a transitive skurun verb meaning to baby or to care for or treat someone or something like a baby. This is thought to be a direct calque from English.
