I meant I can't say it as "cid,jrka,ri".

There are a few Russian words which begin with difficult consonant clusters. I 
can say "mgla" (darkness) with or without syllabic "m", but if I don't make 
the "m" syllabic, it's hard to hear. If it's preceded by a vowel, as in "vo 
mgle", I say "vom gle". "lgun" (liar) I can say so that you know it's 
not "lagoon", but I invariably make the "l" syllabic.
