"klaxon" (m) sounds like a good one.

My dictionary has 111 words staring with K (all of them foreign words) out of 99135.
There are 200 words in total with the letter K, which is 0.2% of all the words in this dictionary.
For comparison reasons, the letter C, for example, appears in 36% of all the words.

I suspect his dictionary is electronic. Interesting stats, Laz! - Lrtward, Jan 9, 2011
I've got the RAE in a database, so I can do any kind of statistical analyses. - lazarus1907, Jan 9, 2011

K and W are really only for foreign words. Spanish may have adopted them, but they weren't originally Spanish.

Ketchup? I thought that was a brand name of a catsup product. - 0074b507, Jan 9, 2011
I believe ketchup is just an alternate spelling, not a brand name. - amykay, Jan 9, 2011
