I think that "G", "K" and "S" are the only italicised ones in the text
proper of the Index entries, as per that beginning note. For example, see
the entry for "*B., Baron*" on the first page of the Index, which mentions
"Baron A." unitalicised, or the mentions of "Prof. C. (not in the Index)"
under the entry for "*Kinbote, Charles, Dr*", and "Prof. C." again in the
entry for Shade.

But I think Keith's right about the change in the "K" from unitalicised to
italicised in the entry for Shade, and from then on.

I don't know that the puzzle which has been set up here with these initials
and italics can ever be conclusively worked out either.
