beginning is optional. And they use {k} because Ladino was originally
written in the Hebrew alphabet, and when they decided recently to write it in
Latin letters that they would write it phonetically in a way that would
distinguish it from Spanish.
So they don't use {c}, or {qu}, and they only use {g} for /g/. Also,
they use {j} for /Z/ and {dj} for /dZ/.

- Yup! "Muncho" is also found as a non-standard variant in some Spanish
dialects. In Ladino it's the standard form.

are just one step ahead of me and you."
