9. The /J/ phoneme is foregrounded, not only by its repetition, but because /j/ is never a silent letter as are /y/ and /e/ and, when it appears in a compound like "neAtly," the /a/. The /j/ sound thus dominates: "pftJschute," "Jiccup," "Judges," "Jollybrool," "Jerrybuilding," "Jute," "Jubilee," "Japijap," etc.
