Thank you, Rahul. I'd been idly looking for that for a while... Kevo
interested me because they are a concatenative language (based on
Forth), and they used the term "concatenative" long before we coined
it. Of course, they used it to mean something entirely different... I
believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that their concatenative object
prototype system creates new objects by copying old ones, and adds new
features onto the ends of the object (hence, "concatenative").

I haven't been able to find documentation, though, so this is a good find.

For those who don't know: object prototype systems are something of a
counterpoint to the class systems you're almost certainly familiar
with. Under a prototype system, ANY object can serve as the "class" of
a new object. There are many prototype systems; the most commonly used
is Javascript, but one of my favorites is Io. Even though it's not
concatenative :-).
