This question already has an answer here:
I’d like to confirm my theory that 来い at the end of a sentence can be colloquially contracted to け. I met this sentence in a comics:
置いてけ。
A meaning “Leave it here!” would be very appropriate there. So I suggest that the copula at the end is an imperative こい as mentioned here.
Am I right? Thanks!
