slightly amusing that spanish as it is actually used ends up having an inconsistent sound-spelling correspondence for similar reasons to (some of) the much more extensive inconsistencies in English sound-spelling correspondence.
for example, not far from here is Villa Martelli. which has two different sounds for “ll”for reasons entirely unpredictable from the words in themselves.
