I thought a "lisp" involved a lateral element. The IPA symbols (disordered
speech) for the voiceless and voiced lisp are [ls] and [lz], both ligatures.
They're not exactly like [K] and [K\] though.
And practicing Spanish (and Tech) pronunciation has made me speak English
using dentals rather than alveolars, so that's kind of a lisp...
