K \
K \, (
k [=
a ]),
the eleventh letter of the English alphabet ,
is nonvocal consonant .
The form and sound of the letter K are from the Latin ,
which used the letter but little except in the early period of the language .
It came into the Latin from the Greek ,
which received it from a Ph [
oe ]
nician source ,
the ultimate origin probably being Egyptian .
Etymologically K is most nearly related to c ,
g ,
h (
which see ).
Note :
In many words of one syllable k is used after c ,
as in crack ,
check ,
deck ,
being necessary to exhibit a correct pronunciation in the derivatives ,
cracked ,
checked ,
decked ,
cracking ;
since without it ,
c ,
before the vowels e and i ,
would be sounded like s .
Formerly ,
k was added to c in certain words of Latin origin ,
as in musick ,
publick ,
republick ;
but now it is omitted .
