ค

Kor Kwaai

The 4th consonant in the Thai alphabet, a low-class letter pronounced like 'kh' at the beginning of a syllable, or 'k' at the end of a syllable

Each letter is named after something. Similar to when you are learning English, A = Apple, B = Bear etc.

ค Kor Kwaai (buffalo)

"Kor" is the sound that letter makes and "Kwaai" means buffalo

So it seems a lot of letters are `double-barelled` then?

I guess you could say that. Some have a different sound depending if they are at the start of the word or the end of the word :wink:
