The letter 'k' is almost never used in native Spanish words, appearing primarily in foreign names or scientific terms.
The Spanish word for a deck of cards, baraja, shares a linguistic root with the word for 'mixing' or 'shuffling'.
Historically, the Spanish language avoided 'k' by using the combinations 'c' or 'qu' to represent the same hard /k/ sound found in words like 'queso'.
