Rare enough to double-check
NJ is uncommon German at frequency #59,034 among 1,954 “N” headwords, classed as acharacter, transcribed [ɲ(ə)]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "20. Buchstabe des modernen albanischen Alphabets (Großschrift)".
NJ doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable German patterns. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is NJ, spelled N-J.
