EDNote:
Since this query is truly shooting off at a tangent, I'll that ask
responses be sent directly to Jansy. If they appear to create a
VN-related pattern, Jansy may then submit them as a digest!

DN on thorns: "Ki"
Giulia Visintin showed us hgow from
"Sao ko jelle terre" we encounter the modern "So che quelle terre",
with a very elegant example that included both "ch" and "qu" sounds.
May I ask something that is totally
unrelated to VN ( to speak the truth, I've never found anything totally
unrelated to VN, but in this case some textual link lies hidden from
me...but we can always think about Kinbote, Queens and Kings... )?
The Italian word for "Caesar" became
pronounced with a "K" sound in German ( "Kaiser"). I've also found
Brits pronouncing "Rhinencephalum" with the "ce" sounding like a "quo"
( a cephalum gaining a "kofalum" sound). I'm sure there are various
other instances where the "C" sounds like "K". Does any of the experts have an explanation?
