Yes, you did and have discussed it before, either on this forum or on another now defunct similar forum that we both shared kg.
Here is a basic explanation:
”
The answer lies in Classical Hebrew, which used the dagesh to indicate the intensification (doubling) of a consonant. So the כּ in Classical Hebrew really did sound like two k's pronounced in quick succession, hence the kk in some English spellings.”
The way I explain it is that the word is actually in Hebrew and we just try to phonetically spell it in English. There is a “Ch” sound that has no equivalent English letter. It is a guttural type sound used in a word like “chutzpah”, or even a Jewish lady named ”Chana”. So when interpreting Hebrew to English, it is subject to how the writer chooses to sound out the word in English.
So it is much like in the old time song,
“You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto”.
So the important thing is to enjoy the spirit of the holidays, whether it is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or whatever your faith teaches you. It is all about love and family, health and happiness, in my opinion.
