enco-ini.tex:
   \definecommand k {\buildtextogonek}
(but i knew what to look for)

It is hard to come up with a clean solution to the problem
(it soon be becmes confusing when commands polymorph on you),
but this is a more or less sane way to get both:

   \unexpanded\def\k{\mathortext\kappa{\dohandleaccent{k}}}
