------------------------------------
External issue URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-codec/pull/36
> Double metaphone should handle 'K' for 'kc' entries instead of 'KK'
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CODEC-281
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-281
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.14
> Reporter: Guillas Stéphanie
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie, pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.15

> Time Spent: 10m

> One example is Kir*kc*aldy: which is presently encoded as "KR*KK*".
> When omitting 'k' or 'c' letters (for example, Kircaldy or Kirkaldy) it is
> encoded as "KRKL".
> The correction consists to verify when letter 'c' follows 'k', if 'c' is
> encoded as 'K', it is ignored as for a succession of 'kk' letters. With this
> correction, Kirkcaldy would be encoded as "KRKL" which is more discriminant
> and compliant with the phonetic.
