Two K's mean a long K-sound
One K means a short K-sound.Spelling it KK instead of CK is rather logical imo. The letter C is not used in Finnish, neither is X (KS does the job just fine).This is an answer to Mar's post."But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
Rick Nelson, GardenParty"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
