  1.  @larsedik  ...and "sell" instead "cell"... Words with soft "C" usually come from Latin. In Latin it is "TS" sound.

  2. There are some Russian words that start with "кн" (кнут =whip, кнопка =button, книга =book, князь ~=prince) и "гн" (гнида =nit, гнедой =bay (about horse), гнездо =nest, гнев =anger, гнать =to drive, гнёт =oppression, гнить =to rot, гнуть =to bend, гном =gnome or dwarf, гномон =gnomon).

  3. These words have K before I or E and C before A, O or U. Because were C before I or E, it would be pronounced like S.

  4. You believe that all English speacher pronounce their language identically? And don't mix pin, pen and pan, and also pain and pine? And how they must write words: seeks, six, sex, sacks, sucks, socks, success?
