"kex" meaning in Swedish

See kex in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɛks/ (note: Svealand, Norrland), /ɕɛks/ (note: Svealand, Norrland)
Etymology: From English cakes, plural of cake, from Middle English cake, from Old Norse kaka (whence also kaka), from Proto-Germanic *kakǭ, from Proto-Indo-European *gog-. The reason why the word is lent in the plural is because it is easier to apply the Swedish declension patterns with cakes than with cake. Compare the similar loans räls and muffins. Compare Danish kiks (similarly borrowed from English).
