スペリングのルール/英語綴りの決まり事５ -- CKで終わる語
CKに関しては以下のようなルールがある
【1】ckで始まる語はない。
【2】単音節の語が最後 c で終わることはない。これは、ckと書かれる。(母音に続く語もcで終わらないと古元典にはあるが、icの接尾辞との関係は不明)

attack back black block brick buck check chick click clock cock crack deck dock duck fleck flick flock frock hack jack kick knack knock lack lick lock luck mock neck nick pack pick pluck quack quick rack rock ruck sack shack shock slack slick snack speck stack stick stock tack tackle thick tick track trick truck tuck wick wreck
