   navajo is such a strange english word. like, it's an exonym, which is already cringe (tewa "navahu" = large field, endonym is navajo "dené" = people), but then the spanish spelling got directly loaned and lexicalized into english even though like, <j> is not /h/ in english

     @chjara At least spanish has a decent phonetic mapping so I wish this would happen more.
