If I were to find it that way, probably I would have had the same difficulty for zy & sy too. But I think I actually don't, at least for individual sounds. > For instance, jarco.

That may be because /c/ is in between a voiced consonant and a vowel, making it harder to pronounce the voiceless consonant as such. But that's something you can complain about in any human language. Fortunately there is no "jarjo", so you don't have to worry too much about being misheard of "jarco". mu'o mi'e tijlan
