| Scottish Word | Phonetic | Meaning | Word in Context |
| aix; there are no x words so here's the word aix to keep this page company | ɛks | axe, hatchet | |
| x is the form of the phonetic symbol that represents the soft ch sound, like a soft non hoarse throaty exhalation of air that is made in the back of the throat. Used for words such as loch and broch. Some non Scots can't make that noise and are stuck with ck, pronouncing loch and broch as lock and brock which is so so wrong. | x | literally - in the phonetic alphabet - represents a specific sound. Which is called the Voiceless Velar Fricative for any geeks out there. |
