Makka sounds much cooler than Mekka.

Romanian language has the word "beci" (becs) too... But the meaning in Romanian is different. It means "underground, vault but also prison, jail"... It has unknown origins but some claim it to be of an archaic, pre-latin origin. Some others claim it to come from Slavic "Betchisnik", meaning "weak, retarded", which I guess should be closer to the truth.
