SELTIC SULTURE

  Dave Kellogg writes: "I enjoyed the debate within the v7#27,
  July 4th edition regarding the pronunciation of certain Latin
  words.  For example, "Another is the word Caesar.  In
  English, it's See-sar; in classical Latin, it's Ky-sar."  And,
  "The letter c in Latin was hard, regardless of what letter
  followed ....".  Based on the above, should we then refer to
  the Celtic Civilization as the Keltic Kivilization?  Or, if that
  sounds odd, perhaps we should go with the soft c, as in
  Seltic.  The Seltic Sivilization - that sounds better.  Now
  about the Celtic Culture.  I guess it should be the Seltic
  Sulture!"
