Although I see that the vote is currently closed, I think I see a point that was not previously brought up. I agree with the standing decision, if anything just out of habit-being the human I am, but there is another point to be made in "ork"'s favor. Tolkien based Quenya partly on Greek which does not have the letter c, as Quenya does not either. So in order to make the word more cohesive with the last vocabularies and etymologies Tolkien produced, wouldn't it make more sense to use the k over the c?

Like I said, maybe it was already addressed, or it just doesn't matter.
