ከ (ka)
The Ge'ez letter ከ is called ካፍ (kāf). It represents a “voiceless velar plosive”, which is like <k> in the English words kite, keep, and kettle.
Its shape ከ is derived from the epigraphic character: 𐩫. It correlates to the Arabic letter ك, the Syriac letter ܟ, and the Hebrew letter כ.
Ge’ez words starting with ከ include ኮከብ (kokab) “star”, ክብር (kəbr) “glory”, and ኪዳን (kidan) “testament”.
