  1. (music) coda
  2. Alternative form of Koda (“syllable coda”)

Usage notes
  • There is no intentional distinction between both spellings and either can be used in any context. However, the difference in frequency has to do with the fact that linguistic terminology is predominantly Latin (where German generally uses k), while musical terminology is predominantly Italian (a modern language, where German tends to keep the original spelling).
