Jysse (jis), n. See Gis. K. K, the eleventh letter and the eighth consonant of the English alphabet, representing one of the sounds of the original IndoEuropean alphabet. The letter was commonly employed in Greek, and in the oldest period of Latin, though hardly used in classical Latin. Nor is it used by the Romance languages except in a few borrowed words. In the Teutonic languages, on the other hand, it is much employed. In AngloSaxon k was occasionally used, but c was regularly employed for the same sound, being always hard (even before e and i). Up till the thirteenth century this letter was seldom used. It gradually became commoner, however, when c had partly lost its own special force, and now has as its most characteristic function the representation of the hard guttural sound before the vowels e and i, c being written before a, 0, and u. At the end of monosyllabic stems it is very common, and if the preceding vowel sound is short this letter is in effect doubled by the insertion of c before it;' if the simple vowel is long this is indicated by an e placed after the k. K has always the same sound, according to which it is classed as a guttural mute, explosive, or momentary consonant, and represents a hard or surd articulation, produced by pressing the root of the tongue written qu, as quake, queen (A. Sax. cweccan, against the palate, with a depression of the cwên). According to Grimm's law when the lower jaw and opening of the teeth.
