a soft g

Is it citranje?

graft: letter 7
Writtencitrange

SIT-rinj

No, and the reason is the same rule running the other way. G before e, i or y goes soft and says j: gem, giant, gyroscope. The word ends in ge, so the g is already soft and the j is not needed. The half of the word that supplied it, orange, works exactly the same way.
