The letter k comes from the semitic letter Kap, which means open hand. The pronunciation of the letter K is kay, the phonetic symbol [kei].

Although Latin changed to the letter C and completely abandoned the letter K, the sound value /K/ of Semitic letters has remained in many classical and modern languages. So the Roman letter K is only used to spell foreign words.
