What is the English translation of the (Italian?) word: kavolo

Doing a search for the word "kavolo" comes up with about 1,000 sites
where the word is used.  Every one of these sites is in Italian. 
Thus, I can only assume that "kavolo" is an Italian word. 
Unfortunately, none of the online translation tools are able to
convert it to English.

This seems to indicate that "kavolo" is a variant of the Italian word
"cavolo," meaning "cabbage":

K spesso anziché "Stacco", "Un sacco", "Cavolo" e così via, si dice
"Stakko", "Un sakko", "Kavolo"; il suono così è più forte e la parola
è quasi più... "Kattiva"!

Incidentally, "cavolo" is used as part of some Italian insults:

"cavolo (vulgar) 'non me ne importa un cavolo!' I don't give a damn
about it!; (vulgar) 'testa di cavolo' blockhead."
