Gingko or jingko? Given our jiven? Give or jive? Gill or Jill? Giddy or jiddy?

Both patterns exist in the language.

These are both words pronounced really differently, though. Give is a hard 'g' short 'i', jive is a 'j' and a long 'i'.

I'd like to add 'Gaol' or 'Jail'? Debra vs Zebra (These are pronounced differently in the US).
