Not easy finding words w/ silent 'j but I found a few. Marijuana and Rijstafel for instance. I don't have pictures of either (and I had to look up what 'Rijstafel' is). Unsurprisingly, 'Fjord' comes from the Old Norse word 'fjorthr' and entered English in the late 17th century. Fjord horses can date their lineage back to the Ice Age. All are various shades of dun and have a distinctive black dorsal stripe. They have the muscling of a draft horse but are a smaller size which gives them more agility.
