"karaka rākau", even without the parentheses, is more likely to mean "orange of a wooden/stick/tree nature" than "orange stick" which I would expect to see as "rākau karaka".
"karaka tāone", even without the parentheses, is more likely to mean "orange of an urban nature" than "Orange Town" which I would expect to see as "tāone karaka".

According to information there, in the early 15th century karakas were the largest ships in the Adriatic Sea, and in the 16th century they were some of the largest vessels in the world.
Between the 14th and 17th centuries, a karaka ship was normally quite large, one of the largest ships of the day.
Karakas can truly be thought as the predecessors to the three-mast sailboats that developed and thrived until the 19th century.

 CSI: Man3
But karakas are much more than these, and their crucial role as a common substratum of ontology, cognition, and grammar can be understood only if we regard them as a manner of classifying 'actions' in the real world.
Panini himself was probably merely projecting the karakas (literally, 'a factor of action') from morphological occurrences in the form of cases to a set of possible actions in the world.
Karaka (literally, an 'actant'; this is a term used by Lucien Tesni*re and his followers to refer to a very similar notion) is that which helps in the accomplishment of an action by assuming different forms (thus karaka is different from both hetu (cause) and lakshana (sign) which are relatively more world-based).

 Paninian Grammar Framework Applied to English
A karaka chart for a verb expresses its aakaankshaas or demands, and specifies the vibhaktis that must be used (i.e., yogyataa) with word groups that satisfy the demands.
For each of the mandatory karakas in a karaka chart for each demand group, there should be {\em exactly one} outgoing edge labelled by the karaka from the demand group.
Optional karaka relations are marked by {opt} and this indicates that it is not mandatory that the constituent with the given karaka relation and vibhakti be present.

 Article: Horoscope of Sri Swami Jnanananda - The Saint and the Scientist - Rayudu Astrology
The demons preceptor Venus is the giver of all Satras(sciences).Sun is the Atma (soul) karaka (siginificator).Mercury is mild or gentle natured, endowed with understanding, intellect, rational wise, sensible, shrewd and siginificator for education also.
That means, the karma karaka Saturn would move over Atmalaraka Sun, Buddhi karaka Mercury, Moksha karaka Ketu,Manas karaka Moon,Shakti karaka Mars and also over the nearby Venus who is significator for all shastras (sciences)and worldly affairs and Rahu who would give obstructions.
Since Venus is in lagna with aspects of Jupiter and Mars and due to the planets position in the 12th bhava and Ketu in northern direction, though all necessary material arrangements were being done, the research in the spiritual fields happened.

 Native Plants of Piha
Karaka is a large coastal canopy tree with rich shiny green leaves and distinctive large yellow fruit which can smother the trees.
Interestingly, early Pakeha settlers dubbed the karaka the laurel because of its similarity to that tree which was also used for funerary decoration.
In its natural state the seeds of the karaka germinate easily around the parent tree and it is easy to dig these up for replanting.

 Structure of Jaimini Astrology
There are seven karakas which are judged in terms of the planet which is highest in degree to that which is lowest in degree, regardless of sign placement.
These karakas are of extreme importance in judging a chart, especially in terms of career potential and, especially, for judging spiritual potential, as indicated in both the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra and the Jaimini Sutram.
Conjunctions or aspects which involve the atma karaka (1st house indicator), the amatya karaka (second and tenth house indicator), matri karaka (fourth house indicator), the putra karaka (fifth house indicator) and the dara or stri karaka (seventh house indicator) produce special combinations in Jaimini astrology similar to the Raja Yoga combinations in Parasara astrology.

Karaka is an evergreen tree, with dark green thick glossy leaves, that grows to 20 m tall.
It is found in coastal and lowland forest in the North Island and northern South Island and is closely related to species found in the New Hebrides and New Caledonia.
The species is known in other countries as the "New Zealand laurel" or "karakaranut." Karaka is an important food for birds, with kereru (New Zealand pigeon, Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) probably its main dispersal agent.

 Costall et al.—Invasive potential of karaka   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Corynocarpus laevigatus (Corynocarpaceae), karaka, is a tree species apparently native to the north of the North Island, New Zealand, with a history of human cultivation further south, where it appears to be outcompeting other native tree species.
Invasiveness was assessed by comparing vegetation in paired plots with and without karaka at 14 sites in forest remnants in the lower half of the North Island.
Karaka appears to be homogenising vegetation, through reduction in herb cover and increase in shrub cover and probably eventual replacement of canopy trees.

 Yearling focus switches to Karaka sales and several mouth-watering prospects
THE yearling spotlight switches to New Zealand on Monday at the Karaka complex, where Kiwi breeders will showcase the best of their thoroughbred band, with 516 lots catalogued for sale to a worldwide audience.
Trying to predict the Karaka sales-topper is a difficult task so I sought assistance in finding the likely big-money yearlings from NZ Bloodstock's general manager, Andrew Seabrook.
Seabrook mentioned the phenomenal result of the 2002 Karaka sale, when two of its graduates proved to be world-class champions - Starcraft, bought for $NZ80,000, and Hong Kong's Vengeance Of Rain, a $NZ300,000 buy.

 Monica Dispatch - May 5, 1999
There are two karakas, a principal karaka and a secondary karaka, and they work as counterparts.
Because money doesn't play as important a role as labor in your society, the karakas are the ones responsible for agricultural taxation (for instance, land for alpacas and buildings to store maize), mit'a service (for example, construction of the Inca system of highways or military service), and textile taxation (clothing, cordage, rope, and cord).
The Pachaka Karaka, which means Chief of 100, looks over 10 groups of 10 "tax payers." This continues on in multiples of ten to Chief of 1,000 and then Lord of 10,000, the Hona Karaka, who reports directly to the Inca provincial governor.
