Found my way to
https://mw.lojban.org/papri/The_Crash_Course_(a_draft) and noticed "ia is pronounced as yu in yummy". Is this true? I thought given the pronunciation of "a" that "ia" would be pronounced more like "yo" as in "yonder" or "beyond".
I'd think if you wanted to make the "yu" as in "yummy" sound in lojban the closest thing would be "iy"
Am I wrong in this?
