How does Gemini get a soft 'g' sound when 'g' is hard in Latin?
"In words of Greco-Latinate origin, the soft ⟨g⟩ pronunciation occurs before ⟨e i y⟩ while the hard ⟨g⟩ pronunciation occurs elsewhere." -Wikipedia
And there you go!
It's the same in Italian, by the way.
Thanks for the rabbit hole, Technomad!
