There is this whole romantic notion about a baby's first word, but it turns out what actually happens is at some point they start going "mamamammamaammamama" and you have to try to vaguely assess at what point it stops being plausibly deniable as random syllables and starts to carry some sort of conscious meaning.

I think if Caterpie has any notion of her consecutive "ma" syllables signifying anything in particular right now, it's probably something more like "I want something" than a call for me. Would that count as a word, if she's just made up her own meaning for it? Who knows. Either way, it's amusing that she does in fact say mamma a lot, but plausible deniability remains in effect. It'll be fun when she manages something obviously contextual, like if she were to imitate us saying 'datt' (fell) when something falls.
