<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9547096, member: 5833&quot;]The letters I, J &amp; Y sort of shuffle around, depending on the language.&nbsp; Think of all the words that start with yod in Hebrew that start with J in English.&nbsp; Italian <i>io</i> is the Spanish <i>yo</i>, which some Spanish speakers pronounce like Joe.&nbsp; The German Johannes could be written with a Y as far as an English speaker is concerned, while it is written with an I in Latin.&nbsp; And so on.&nbsp; My quite contemporary books on a collection of engraved gems writes the plural of <i>genio</i> (genius) as <i>genj</i>, although they could also have used <i>genii</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
