In modern standard Italian spelling, only Latin words, proper nouns (such as Jesi, Letojanni, Juventus etc.) or those of foreign languages have J. Until the 19th century, J was used instead of I in diphthongs, as a replacement for final -ii, and in vowel groups (as in Savoja); this rule was quite strict for official writing.
He has published on such topics as echo words in Bhojpuri and has argued that echo-word constructions (in which "a word is repeated without its initial consonant, sometimes with a vowel change") can function as a kind of secret language.
Loans may also have superheavy CV:C syllables, since stressed vowels in the source language are typically borrowed with a long vowel: pó:spara "match", kú:lpa "fault", pé:čʰka "brick" (Spanish fósforo, culpa; Russian péčka "oven").
