jinecium

Spelled gynoecium. two changes at once

Jinecium, gynecium or gynoecium?

Gynoecium. Jinecium keeps only three letters in their original place.

It writes the soft g as j, flattens the y to i and reduces oe to a single e. What survives sounds right read aloud and gives no clue that the second half of the word is oikos, house, the same element that names the androecium on the other side of the flower.

Say

guy-NEE-see-um, and jy-NEE-see-um is heard just as often
