[c] is a (medio)palatal stop. You get it a lot for /k/ before front vowels in languages that don't have a /c/. The only European languages I know of that have /c/ are Hungarian and Basque, plus that Icelandic and Greek have [c] which may be either /c/ or /kj/ + /k/ before front vowels depending on analysis. /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch atte melroch dotte se ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No man forgets his original trade: the rights of nations and of kings sink into questions of grammar, if grammarians discuss them. -Dr. Samuel Johnson (1707 - 1784)
