The word "Verjnice" is spelled with a pronounced "rj" sound, which is why it is spelled with a "j" instead of the more typical "g" or "d" used in similar words. In IPA phonetic transcription, this sound is represented as [rj], with the "r" and "j" sounds blended together. The final "e" in the word may indicate a softening of the preceding consonant, though it could also simply serve to differentiate the spelling of the word from similar words without the final "e".
