Ah, well....uhm, _ch**gar_ in Spanish means, errm... _to F._.  :-S
My cousin and i (we were in the same Spanish class) used to joke around
in highschool by putting the noun diminutive _-ito/a_ onto the end of the
verb _ch**ga_, and then adding the direct object pronoun _te_ to get
_ch**guítate!_ which we translated as a "little F. you"

Orthography is the writing system, for instance, in my newest conlang,
Judajca, <ç> (that's a C-cedilla, if it doesn't come out on your screen)
(orthography is written in <angle brackets> or {braces}) represents the
sound spelled <ch> in _loch_, _Bach_, and _Chanuka_.
My comment just meant that it looks like your writing system is based on
English, at least from the combinations of  letters that you use.
