ک kāf called کاف تازي or کاف عربي or کاف کلمن the twenty-second letter of the Arabic and twen- ty-fifth of the Persian alphabet, corresponds to क in Sanskrit. Its sound is that of the English k. To represent its Sanskrit aspirate ख (kh) in the Arabic characters, کهـ is adopted. In the notation of numbers by the Arabic letters, ک stands for twenty. Its permutations are, 1st, into خ as شاماخچه or شاماکچه A womanʼs bo- dice: 2d, into غ as کژگاو or غژگاو The bull of Tar- tary (Bos grunniens): 3d, Arabistically, into ق as منجنيق for منجنيک A warlike engine. In Persian, it is sometimes prefixed to a word, but more commonly it occurs disjoined; in which latter case it has the ه maktūbī or muḵẖ- tafī annexed to it, thus که, and being pro- nounced with kasr (ِ) it may be used in the fol- lowing senses. 1.
