- That's [K]? I thought it was supposed to be an affricate [tK] or something like that... must go correct my (left-handed Lithuanian) brother; he just read "Feathered Serpent" by Colin Falconer, a historical novel about the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and i told him that |tl| was supposed to be pronounced [tK]... -Stephen (Steg) "I before E except after C, and when sounding like "A" as in "neighbor" and "weigh," and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!"
