K'ani
11th letter of the three Georgian scripts
K'ani (asomtavruli Ⴉ, nuskhuri ⴉ, mkhedruli კ, mtavruli Კ) is the 11th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]
In the system of Georgian numerals it has a value of 20.[2]
K'ani represents a velar ejective consonant [kʼ]. As an ejective consonant, the airstream in its pronunciation is not produced in the lungs, but in the glottis. In the Georgian language, it is distinct from a non-ejective velar consonant, represented by the letter Kani.
