When writing |k| in Germanic goes back to quite early times (say in
Old Norse), to starting using the Latin alphabet at all, where is the
branching in English tradition?

In any case, would you think a romance conlang could simply have a
different tradition from other romlangs of prefering |k| over |c|?  I
would be easy off with a conexplanation like this: 'it is just that
early scholars seemed to like |k| more than |c| in Terkunan.'
