He used the k to know the real fonema he wanted to use. But in publishing he wanted to use the c as is spoken in latin, celtic or OE for example.

Huh...you're right - he does use 'Melcor' in more than one occasion, the one in
Vinyar Tengwar 49 being the latest I think (from 1968).
Still feels weird though, given how used to the name I am.
Anyway, I agree.
