jucundus = nice, pleasant (also Latin)
I could just as well have let this word illustrate 'i' because initial j- can also be spelled i-

kalenda = 1. of a month in Latin, but here it is illustrating Ancient Occitan, as in the wellknown estampida or saltarello "Kalenda Maia" by Raimbaut de Vaqeiras from around 1200:
Kalenda maia
Ni fueills de faia
Ni chans d'auzell ni flors de glaia
Non es qe.m plaia,
Pros dona gaia,
...
(you can hear how a 'k' sounded in Old Occitan here)
