+<p><hw>K</hw>, <pr>(k<amac/)</pr>, <def>the eleventh letter of the English alphabet, is nonvocal consonant. The form and sound of the letter <hwf>K</hwf> 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\'d2nician source, the ultimate origin probably being Egyptian. Etymologically <hwf>K</hwf> is most nearly related to <it>c</it>, <it>g</it>, <it>h</it> (which see).</def></p>
+
+<p> <note>In many words of one syllable <xex>k</xex> is used after <xex>c</xex>, as in <xex>crack</xex>, <xex>check</xex>, <xex>deck</xex>, being necessary to exhibit a correct pronunciation in the derivatives, <xex>cracked</xex>, <xex>checked</xex>, <xex>decked</xex>, <xex>cracking</xex>; since without it, <it>c</it>, before the vowels <it>e</it> and <it>i</it>, would be sounded like <it>s</it>. Formerly, <xex>k</xex> was added to <xex>c</xex> in certain words of Latin origin, as in <xex>musick</xex>, <xex>publick</xex>, <xex>republick</xex>; but now it is omitted.</note><br/
