Chinese term

已经棵

Hi,

I saw this term in the Internet a few times but I don't understand what it is. A search on Google doesn't turn up anything. What does it mean?

棵 is a typo for 可: (url omitted)
... 之後會有直升飛機來迎接我們,但是先確保周圍已經棵沒有敵人了再前進!

But what are we to make of this string:
擴音機;同樣民間;擴音機;口頭語;艱苦同樣;了解;已經棵;用途看見;?

It must be a user name randomly selected, or it should be a typo .

I don't have a context. It seems that it appears in any situation. If you googled it, you'd find it there's no specific situation where it appears. That's why I'm so confused. Is this a special colloquial term used by young people in China? I'm actually a Chinese but I don't understand this at all.

More context required. Put this phrase in a sentence and we will see what we can do.
