We are dealing with a language that only recognizes those two sounds the 
two words have in common: R & C. Wether it's _RC or R_C is up to the 
sounds spoken alongside the consonants. Of course, waiting for the paper 
to come out or a formal etymology (together, separated, or whatever) is 
the best course of action. Or talking to an Arabian or linguist.
