However, he is probably best known for the fact that he abandoned the Esperanto movement in 1911, which duly retaliated by using his name Kabe thereafter as the stem of an invented verb (kabei) meaning to leave the movement suddenly.
KazimierzBein (1872 – June 15, 1959), was an eye-doctor from Poland, the founder and for a time director of the Warsaw Ophthalmic Institute (Warszawski Instytut Oftalmiczny).
Bein became at least as well known for his involvement with the Esperanto movement as for his medical achievements, as much for the manner in which he left the movement as for what he had done within it.
Bein was one of the earliest adopters of the international language, Esperanto, and became an eminent pioneer of Esperanto prose, writing under the pseudonym, Kabe, a shortened form of his name.
