>This transformation (k to g or vice versa, p to b or vice versa, etc), is called "equalization by aspiration" and is one of the troubles the sixth-graders have when they learn that part of the grammar. They usually all know how to pronounce it instinctively - they just hate it that there's actual rules to it, and that they have to learn such a long expression (luckily, this one is not in Latin) to describe it.
I understand Greek to be like that. The Akropolis, for instance, I was told is pronounced "Agrobolis". We don't get many Greeks on the UT though, to confirm. (Not that many Serbs come to think of it) :-)
