Because they preferred to map g to gamma? c doesn't have a direct correlate, so they put it on something that's not entirely unreasonable (given its English spelling): chi. The input method `greek' maps g to gamma too, though it takes the other sound for c and makes it psi and makes x chi (and j xi). Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
