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).
