I don't care what anyone says, those are not words that are a part of standard written modern English. People may use them, but that doesn't mean they are correct. I would still mark off for all 3 of those on a high school English final. (Unless it was a 'creative writing' task and they were telling me what a character said.)
Also, this isn't unique to English. Lots of languages adopt words and old words get new usages and contexts. The reason scientists use Latin so often is because it is a dead language so that the ideas of science will only change with the science and not with the language.
So any way... where does Kata come from? It is pretty obvious that no one can find it beyond the English adopted word.
