Mrrzy, I'm not sure. I think a c needs one of those little dingleberry things to be an s. (A cedille?) My French-English dictionary has a bunch of "cu" words in which the 'u' is pronounced. For example, cuire (to cook) is pronounced küir. Like "cuisine." Oh well, first time I pronounce it wrong around someone who knows better, I'll find out.

Keith, thanks for the history. I'd never heard any of that before, and it really adds to what is already a powerful song/poem.
