[Spellyans] <kk> and <ck>

[Craig Weatherhill]

Interesting question.  In the word <bucca>, for example, the  
traditional spelling in dialect is invariably <cc>.  I think Nance  
spelt it <kk>.  Is this a loan word, or is it not.  I fancy that  
Cornish <bucca> and Welsh <pwca> rather pre-date English <puck> which  
would, therefore, be the borrowed word.

KK proposed the awful (and utterly unprecedented) spelling <boekka>,  
even though the traditional pronunciation of <bucca> never remotely  
resembled the recommended KK pronunciation(s) of <oe>.
