Probably "δσκ" in Rhaetian, which "should be" [dS] as written, but is
conventionally pronounced [dZ] by those who can do so (though I'm sure
some will say [tS] instead). Hence, Δσκιμ and Δσκον.

Neither [Z] nor [dZ] are native, but I imagine they might be found in
loan-words (though I haven't seen one yet -- but then, the lexicon is
still tiny.)
