Interesting. I wonder how many other people use {c} for /k/? Personally, I dislike that letter for /k/, but that's just a personal prejudice of mine. Mostly because if I use {c} in a Conlang, I like to reserve it for /tS/ or /c/. -- "[H]e axed after eggys: And the goode wyf answerde, that she coude not speke no Frenshe ...
