Re: [lojban] Question: origins of "spitaki"

I would have not guessed it because in "Psittaciformes" the "ci" doesn't sound like {ki} but more like {tci}.

Only in the new Italian/Church Latin pronunciation. "ci" is {ki} in classical latin. Plus, the word comes from the Ancient Greek word ψιττακός (psittakos).
