Subject:kathaalik (كذلك) query

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the morphemic and semantic composition of  
"kathalik". What is the semantic meaning of the "ka" in this  
construction? Does it mean "similar to" in all contexts? Does it  
change in the meaning of the distal demonstrative "thalik" to which it  
is attached? Does anyone know of any work that has been done on this?

Thanks a lot in advance.
