Kwa hivyo mara nyingi sauti hii hutoholewa kwa kuhamishwa katika Kiswahili kama sauti /k/ na hatimaye kuchangia katika tafsiri ya majina ya nchi kama vile Iraq (Iraki), Qatar (Katari), Equatorial Guinea (Ginekweta) na Mozambique (Mozambiki).

Therefore, this sound is frequently adapted by modification in Swahili as the sound /k/ and finally ends up in the translations of the names of countries likeIraki (Iraq),Katari (Qatar),Ginekweta (Equatorial Guinea), andMozambiki (Mozambique).
