Why do you think there is an ambiguity?
Anyone reading Breton know that the thing that is between C and H has the
first role, while it would be the second in about any other instance.

I think it is about as ambiguous as the H letter itself, which has usually
several roles in Latin written languages.

Or do I miss something important?
