I don't think there is any K
..and I am a bit surprise to see a roman city name with Ju , must be a modern spelling
the original latin alphabet only had 20 letters ,
K Y Z were borrowed from greek
and J U W were added later to show the various prononciations of I and V

No XYZ in the classical Latin alphabet so I think it is LArdennais who is the one who should determine the next criterion for our cities worldwide
