The accent on the "e" for "kè" is different than what you have in your question. You have "ké", but you should write "kè". This changes the sound of the letter. You're probably typing alt +130 (aksantegi) instead of alt+138 (aksan grav / aksan fòs).
There are a few Haitian Creole terms (I cannot think of all of them), but if you come up with more, send me a comment and I'll add it to the post.
