J-to-GLI

I recently noticed a pattern between Spanish and Italian. If a Spanish word contains a J following a vowel, it may have an Italian counterpart which has GLI instead. I've found only a few such couplets so far but still, a nice little tool.

paja > paglia, straw

mejor > meglio, better

conejo > coniglio, rabbit

bagaje >bagaglio, baggage
