J & K


Most words with a 'j' that are descended from Latin were originally written in Classical Latin with an 'i' and appear there in this list to avoid redundancy (ex. jaceō and iaceō are the same verb). The letter 'k' was very rare in Latin and only occasionally used in words of Ancient Greek origin in place of kappa or in foreign and personal names. The 'hard k' sound in Latin is represented by 'c' which was never a 'soft c' (as in Modern English 'century').
