1- I’m not sure how to pronounce it (maybe it s just me), ‘j’ has a lot of depth consonent-wise (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_palatal_approximant) 2- what’s the story behind it (strong believer in the importance of symbols and what they attach to) 3- what is it supposed to make me think of? A pidgeon? So it’s everywhere and defecate randomly on people?

I must also postface: I understand it’s a spanish word meant to evoke a bird (what for?) and maybe I’m the only one that believes that simple evocative name change anything, but hey, here you are in that thread :-p
