Hey all,

Lately, I've been pulling sentences from this reading passage I yanked from about.com, but for some reason, the word "Kothes" completely alludes me. Here's how it's used in the passage:

"Kothes fahren auf der Autobahn Nummer 7 nach Hildesheim."
"In der großen Küche lernen Kothes das türkische Ehepaar kennen."


I looked through some monodics, but neither could give me a definition or point me to the word in it's singular form (assuming this isn't). I tried a couple bi-lingual dictionaries, but they couldn't give me an answer either. The only thing that would tell me anything was Google-Translate, which said it meant, "feces". :/ Dang.

So, what does this word mean anyways? Is it just really obscure or am I just dumm for not being able to decline it properly?

It's a last name. "The Kothes"
