K | In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters C, K and Q were all used to represent the sounds /k/ and /g/ (which were not differentiated in writing). | After Greek words were taken into Latin, the Kappa was transliterated as a C. Loanwords from other alphabets with the sound /k/ were also transliterated with C.

Scotland during the Roman Empire | There are the remains of various broch towers in southern Scotland that appear to date from the period immediately prior to or following Agricola's invasion. | Edin's Hall Broch in Berwickshire is the best preserved southern broch and although the ruins are superficially similar to some of the larger Orcadian broch villages it is unlikely that the tower was ever more than a single story high. | Presumably as a consequence of the Roman advance, various hill forts such as Dun Mor in Perthshire, which had been abandoned by the natives long ago, were re-occupied. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_during_the_Roman_Empire |
Scotland during the Roman Empire | Quintus Pompeius Falco became governor of Britannia between 118 and 122 and is thought to have suppressed an uprising involving the Brigantes of northern Britannia and the Selgovae. | This line of occupation of Britain was consolidated as one of the limites (defensible frontiers) of the empire by its construction. | Antoninus Pius soon reversed the containment policy of his predecessor Hadrian, and Urbicus was ordered to begin the reconquest of Lowland Scotland by moving north. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_during_the_Roman_Empire |

Scotland during the Roman Empire | Antoninus Pius soon reversed the containment policy of his predecessor Hadrian, and Urbicus was ordered to begin the reconquest of Lowland Scotland by moving north. | It seems likely that Urbicus planned his campaign of attack from Corbridge, advancing north and leaving garrison forts at High Rochester in Northumberland and possibly also at Trimontium as he struck towards the Firth of Forth. | According to Dio Cassius, he inflicted genocidal depredations on the natives and incurred the loss of 50,000 of his own men to the attrition of guerrilla tactics, although it is likely that these figures are a significant exaggeration [REF]. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_during_the_Roman_Empire |

Scotland during the Roman Empire | By 210, Severus' campaigning had made significant gains, but his campaign was cut short when he fell fatally ill, dying at Eboracum in 211. | It was during the negotiations to purchase the truce necessary to secure the Roman retreat to the wall that the first recorded utterance, attributable with any reasonable degree of confidence, to a native of Scotland was made. | The Pictish relationship with Rome appears to have been less overtly hostile than their Caledonian predecessors, at least in the beginning. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_during_the_Roman_Empire |

Scotland during the Roman Empire | The technology of everyday life is not well recorded, but archaeological evidence shows it to have been similar to that in Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England. | As Rome's power waned, the Picts were emboldened. | From the mid-18th century to the mid-19th century, Charles Bertram's forged Description of Britain () placed Valentia squarely between Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall and even gave Rome a "short-lived" province named Vespasiana beyond the Antonine Wall in lowland Scotland. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_during_the_Roman_Empire |

W | The shift from the digraph to the distinct ligature is thus gradual, and is only apparent in abecedaria, explicit listings of all individual letters. | In Middle High German (and possibly already in late Old High German), the West Germanic phoneme became realized as ; this is why, today, the German represents that sound. | In Vietnamese, is called , from the French . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W |

Advanced Cryogenic Evolved Stage | As further refined in a 2010 conference paper, ACES was intended to be a lower-cost, more-capable and more-flexible upper stage that would supplement, and perhaps replace, the existing ULA Centaur and Delta Cryogenic Second Stage (DCSS) upper stage vehicles [REF]. | The modular design of ACES supported the production of a number of standard propellant load stages, in a number of standard lengths, that are otherwise common, including the main propellant tank diameter of , "a size not seen since the 1970s." | In August 2016 ULA's President and CEO Tory Bruno said they intend to human rate both the Vulcan and ACES [REF]. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Cryogenic_Evolved_Stage |
Okavango Delta | Every year, approximately 11 cubic kilometres (11,000,000,000,000 litres) of water flow into the delta. | Approximately 70% of the islands began as termite mounds (often Macrotermes spp.), where a tree then takes root on the mound of earth. | December to February are hot wet months with daytime temperatures as high as 40 °C, warm nights, and humidity levels fluctuating between 50% and 80%. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okavango_Delta |
