No, you are quite right, as JRRT said in the RotK appendices that "c is pronounced as k in positions..." Why would he say that if Quenya had no 'c'? One of the Tengwar's letters is Calma, not kalma (though it is pronounced that way), which was used by the Quendi (among the first Elvish 'clans'). Case in point.
