Korkoras? When did Latin use the letter "K"? -- Zoe

The elementary Latin dictionary here (my partner actually knows the language) has a grand boldfaced capital K section heading, with exactly one entry: Kalendae, -arum (kalends). There might be a couple of others in a more thorough dictionary, but I am suspicious too.Vicki Rosenzweig
Mine also shows an alternate spelling of Carthago, and a couple of derivative adjectives of those two words, but that ain't saying much. A google search turns up a couple of example of "Korkoras", and a few more of "Corcoras", so who knows... I don't know what kind of authoratative source to look this kind of thing up in. --Brion
Some philologists here (and in Russia) claim that Latin used K at the beginning of loanwords from Slavic language that were beginning with K. In particular, Kalendae ;)

Unrelated to this, could anyone add Latin name of Morava (all or any of them)? Nikola 19:59, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Pretty much done, I think? The linked page lists zapadna and juzna. --Joy [shallot] 09:21, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
