The tenth letter and the seventh of the consonant letters of the English alphabet, to which is has been added in modern days, the letter i<\/em> written formerly in words where j<\/em> is now used. It seems to have had the sound of y<\/em> in many words, as it still has in the German. The English sound of this letter, which is precisely the same as that of g soft<\/em>, as in genius<\/em>, may be very nearly expressed by dzh<\/em>. \u2014 Webster, 1882<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
