G VOWEL F It’s rather specific. It’s a hard G. English is weird but there ARE rules.

That's not actually a rule though. The rule is that it's a soft G when followed by an I, E, or Y, unless the word is of Germanic origin.

Name a word that is G-vowel-F that has a soft G. Just one. Not a made-up acronym. A real word.

That's a silly "rule" based only on the fact that there is only one g-i-F word in the English language. Linguistic rules don't work that way

gi- followed by any letter is a soft G. With a handful of exceptions because English is weird. That's the rule.

the F modifies the GI, it’s not that hard to understand. It’s Gift. It’s Gaffe. It’s Guffaw. It’s GIF with a hard-G.

G-A and G-U are hard As regardless, so that's irrelevant. Find me a supporting example for the "rule".

You're making up a "rule" based on LITERALLY one example.

Technically, you have the burden of proof to disprove the "G vowel F" law. It's extremely consistent.

It's not a law. It doesn't exist in any grammatical rule textbooks or sources. G followed by I is almost always a soft g - that IS a rule

Your law has an exception. Mine does not. Which is stronger?
