Wow! And I thought I was already strange when I decided to use "c" for /S/ (and only /S/, even in front of back vowels) in Reman. But well, in this case the strangeness comes more from the factr that it's supposed to be a Romance language, and yet has quite a strange orthography (imagine a Romance language where you can write things like 'qe' :) ).
