    Looks like the s-sound version may win... It's apparently supposed to have the little sperm tail thing on the bottom, which would imply an s sound over a hard c or k-type sound. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
