  MORE ON LATIN PRONUNCIATION
  

  Ken Berger writes: "In response to Dave Kellogg's comment,
  the C was only hard in classical Latin not in vulgate Latin."
  

  Dan Demeo writes: "No, no, no, no. I believe Celtic has its
  origin in Greek, through Latin, and maybe German--Celtic,
  Keltic, hard C. Civilization, sure, from Latin, and civis,
  citizen, was pronounced something like ke-vis, not si-vis,
  but we've had 2000 years of improvement since then, and it
  came to us through French--do you really want to try to
  correct the French? Worse yet, Latin had no J, so Julius
  Caesar was actually yu-li-us ky-sar--enough, already."
