I thought of a cool pun the other day.
The thought process goes like this: In Old English, cnict means boy. It's where we get our modern knight. I like knights. But cnict sounds like knit, and I like knitting. I could be a cnictter.
See the cnittion?
More wordplay: sumus, which is the first plural of the to be verb, is a palindrome.
I had a lot of time on my hands.

so would you say cnict ka-nig-it if we were speaking in phonics or sounds or whatever
No. You say it with a very small k sound followed by a very long ng type sound. knnnicht. It is indeed were our work knight originated. Nice word sleuthing.
