"giff" or "jiff"

[Esper]

Gif as in gift. Find me a word in English that starts with gif- and isn't pronounced this way.

Doge rhymes with rogue or vogue. The word derives from "dog" which is a hard "g". The g's in English words that are pronounced like j's mostly derive from French words and dog didn't derive from French.

Whenever I hear jiff, I think of the cleaning product, not an image file format.
