In Genoese the etymological prefix geo- (from Greek gḗ “earth”), in words like geografia [dʒuɡraˈfiːa] “geography,” geometria [dʒumeˈtriːa] “geometry” or geòmetra [ˈdʒɔmetra] “surveyor,” is normally pronounced [dʒ]-: the grapheme ‹e› thus renders the affricate articulation of the consonant ‹g›. More careful, and equally correct, are the pronunciations with [dʒj]- and [dʒe]-: [dʒjuɡraˈfiːa] ~ [dʒewɡraˈfiːa], [dʒjumeˈtriːa] ~ [dʒewmeˈtriːa], [ˈdʒjɔmetra] ~ [dʒeˈɔmetra], etc.
