Fwd: -ckx consonant cluster?

[Wilson Gray]

But isn't Daeninckx of Flemish ancestry? His first name is one of the
many French versions of "Thedrick" (Theodoric), but that's most likely
coincidental. I have a French friend whose surname is "van
Bockstaele," who is of Flemish ancestry. (I realize that this adds
nothing, but I thought that I'd just throw it in there. "What the
hell, eh?", as a Canadian friend says.)
