the ch in kirche is not pronounced as kh but as ch, deeper in the throat. in swiss german you have chilchä, or chilä. so there is quite a lot missing from the original word an k is ch, r is l.
plz do not play kids games.
Yes but the proto form sound in Germanic is Kirk
compare Dutch Kerk
2 forms
Kirk in Germanic
but due to Latin alhabet has also the form Cirica ->Ciric-ha -> Chiric-ha ->Church
while in Dutch kept the K Kirica
the modern sound of C is after
Proto-Germanic sound of Kirch church etc is KIRIKO
so Κυριακον (του Κυριου, Lords place/house) enters protogermanic as Kiriko sound but as Cirico written in Latin alphabet and remains as Kirk Kerk to some, or Cirica ->Chiricha Chirihha etc to other dialects,
the K or C or Ch
It has to do mainly with timing era of each German dialect got the loan, their own writting, and the time they change to chistianity and by who,
an example simmilar to Kirche
Greeκ Ελλας Latin Grecia
from Latin Grecia enters Germanic languages
but
English Gree-c-e but Gree-k
Deutsch Grie-ch-enland (ch=kh=h ?)
Danish Grea-k-enland
Dutch Grie-k-enland
Notice the laryngeal aspirations (k g h γ kh) is probably after medieval languages.
compare Roman Latin Grecia (Grekia) with Italian Grecia (Gretsia), and you realize the change of C sound timing.
