    He means the letters "c" and "g" are the same letter to Romans. In other words, if your name were Roman, clayton and glayton would each be valid spellings of it.

    Am I right in understanding your meaning Gatiline?

    I'm pretty sure that's not true. The latin "Cogito" for example, meaning to think.

    They are referring to names.

    Caius/Gaius
    Cnaeus/Gnaeus
