Hail Citizens!
I enjoy the letter G.
It has roots in the Greek letter Gamma.
It harkens back to the seminal days of ancient Rome.
First a brief history...
"Gamma" is the same word as "camel", in Semitic "gimel". The letter actually does look like a camel's head. This letter passed into the Latin alphabet in this position in a curved form as our "C". The Etruscans did not distinguish between the "g" and "k" sounds, so Greek gamma came to have the "k" sound in Latin. The Romans needed another letter for the "g" sound, so they added a bar to the "C" to get "G".
Kiant Hamburger does not ring well to me. I can't imagine walking up to Bones and saying, "'sup K?" Churches would experience confusion preaching the work of their one true Kod.
What about you, baaa?
-KH
