        That was my first guess, but when I sounded out the words as spelled it didn’t sound very… tongue-y. Maybe I’m not hearing it right.

        Edit: you don’t even use your tongue to make the K sound 🤔

          You do use it. You need to press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to make a k sound.

          This happens close to the back of your mouth where the molars are…

            Huh, fair enough.

            I still don’t associate the tongue with a K sound 😅 a lisp I feel would make more sense
