and after writing this, i realised i became confused... subconsciously i must have been screaming: no no no... dawn penn or daddy g ft. melaaz, **** it, the original can't be down-trodden; oh well, sometimes you have to make mistakes... just change the q to a j, and you'll still find the digraph (dz) in a j.

you can easily pronounce this *digraph
-
   dz...
              e.g. in the word -   dziadek
     (grandfather) -
you already know how to  pronounce it,
by applying it in the "misnomer"
                that's the word    hiqab -
  hiccup...
                                     (measles) jab...
         and i do stress it's a "         "    misnomer,
because it is just that,
         perhaps a affix could explain
   the confusion further:      
   it really is a case of   quasi-    vs.  pseudo-.
         nurse! scalpel!
                             hi-           -qab...
             cab...
                             stuttering: k k kebab...
                instead:               he-jab!
                    it's not exactly hi qab! qab being
a boy's name.
               so you already know how to pronounce
the digraph, don't ******* me that there
are too many consonants bundled together...
      what's with english then?
            two language in one,
                            you write it one way,
and then pronounce it another way...
                       maybe that's why so few english
people bother to learn a second language,
            well, given that their language is already
   a bilingualism of sorts...
                  say it one way, write it another way...
   clearly not bothering to invite diacritical marks
made the whole syllable syllabus "slightly" daunting;
but i agree, digraphs could disappear one day,
    due to diacritical marks...
                rastafarian man just kept singing:
                                         jah jah dzιádek;
english is a covert language:
                 ****'s perfect for hiding things,
and later finding them, like gravity
                                          or d.n.a.,
                                                         or penicillin.
