No, they're not always aspirated or unaspirated there. And that doesn't sound like a k. lysdexia 13:51, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It seems to me that the sound is voiced and sounds like the voiced velar plosive instead.Ijriims (talk) 07:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Can someone explain to me what everyone is talking about here? Grover cleveland (talk) 16:08, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seems that I had some misunderstanding, the /k/ sound we usually hear like in kitty, is actually aspirated /k/. The /k/ in the audio sample is voiceless but unaspirated, though the vowel has been prolonged.For what aspiration means, look it up in Wiki.Ijriims (talk) 16:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
