The German Element in Brazil

Note 46 — Chapter II

Reading edition

This rule holds for the Portuguese, but not for the German 'j' as e.g., where the latter replaces the 'h' in jatte (from hiate), the 'i' or 'y' in cuja (from cuia, cuya) or the 'lh' in cangalje (from cangalho). In such cases the 'j' has the phonetic value of the English 'y'.
