K'ani

In the system of Georgian numerals it has a value of 20.[2]

K'ani represents a velar ejective consonant []. As an ejective consonant, the airstream in its pronunciation is not produced in the lungs, but in the glottis. In the Georgian language, it is distinct from a non-ejective velar consonant, represented by the letter Kani.
