That was my first guess, but when I sounded out the words as spelled it didn't sound very... tongue-y. Maybe I'm not hearing it right.

Edit: you don't even use your tongue to make the K sound πŸ€”

You do use it. You need to press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to make a k sound.

This happens close to the back of your mouth where the molars are…

Huh, fair enough.

I still don't associate the tongue with a K sound πŸ˜… a lisp I feel would make more sense
