C

C [Zî]
Letter
== Meaning ==
C comes from the same letter as G. The Semites named it gimel. The sign is possibly adapted from an Egyptian hieroglyph for a staff sling, which may have been the meaning of the name gimel. Another possibility is that it depicted a camel, the Semitic name for which was gamal. Barry B. Powell, a specialist in the history of writing, states It is hard to imagine how gimel = camel can be derived from the picture of a camel (it may show his hump, or his head and neck!).
When people improve the alphabet, usually they remove the letter C because S and K exist
