"Cc" digraph
The cc digraph is present in the words "accin" and "pucca," where it represents the sounds /ks/ and /k/ respectively. Additionally, the sc digraph can be found in "eryscien" and "escupin," denoting the phonetic values /s/ and /sk/ in that order. Notably, the phonemic value changes in all four words, with "accin" pronounced as /aksin/, "pucca" as /puka/, "eryscien" as /eləsien/, and "escupin" as /eskupin/. These phonetic representations are equivalent to the sounds x, k, s, and sk in the English orthography.
