Waitasec--now *I'm* confused. I thought English "k" was /k/. _The
Korean Alphabet_ lists "j" (McCune-Reischauer transliteration of Korean)
as /c/ and "ch" as /c^h/ (aspirate), so I thought /c/ was something very
similar to English /dZ/. /c/ really is as in "key"? <confusion> I was
so happy to know what the IPA's for Korean sounds were, and now it seems
something is very wrong here!
While I'm at it, is /x/ as in German "ach"? Or do I have that one wrong,
too?
