if that is a quarter it is the c with the hook. = cheyrek

Yes, I'm given to understand it means quarter. I learned this spelling from a Turk also. Hmmm.

Okay, let's see if I have this right:

c = j

c with hook below = ch

s with hook below = sh

How is "s" with no hook below pronounced?

as in semen, seminal, seminar, useless

You forgot the "a" in semen: seamen.

This Turk. Is he a TC or a mainland Turk.? He must be an idiot or you are a keen but inattentive pupil.

At least you are trying. Credit due to you.

But I swear I've seen it written like that - c with a hook below. Not at all?

Now I am confused too:? What about Ercan, that has a hook below the c making it Ershan, doesn't it?

Ercan is pronounced = erjan.no hook under the c.

Not the way I pronounce it!

I think you are due some personal tuition

I think you may be right there! Just as well I am planning a trip North soon - I can learn more there; definitely not taking it all in tonight!

Oh no I did not. Add seaman to the list then.
