Hi, Roy.

Your comments are always welcome!

as for "imajina" and "relijion," it is simply a matter of keeping to
LFN's phonemic principle -- spell it as you say it!  And, since LFN is
based on the western romance languages, and all of them use the
fricative/affricative pronunciation, we went with j.  It is sometimes
unavoidable to make such choices if you want to stick to a principle!

Best wishes,

George (aka Jorj!)
