Re: The article claims...
I looked in to it and I'm afraid I found no evidence to support the article.

There is a word "kalodis" meaning "full of calluses" but I digress :P
So I guess I will have to stick with the interpretation that Kaludis is a diminutive of "ta kala" (the goods) and means "litte gifts/sweets/goodies :)
