Chakravakam

Rfv-sense:

1. A kind of bird called ruddy goose or ruddy shelduck Tadorna ferruginea.

The musical term comes from Sanskrit चक्रवाक (cakravāka), which can be literally translated as the rfved sense. The problem is that we're talking about usage in English, capitalized and with this spelling. I suspect the contributor threw in this sense because the musical and the duck sense are the same word in Sanskrit (and presumably in some descendent languages), so they figured they must be the same in English.
