Why did you choose j as the starting consonant? It this monkey somehow
related to Lojban?

A consonant cluster was needed to make a valid fu'ivla.
I considered "jbonobo" and "zbonobo", and arbitrarily chose the first one.
(Inserting a consonant as in "bronobo", "blonobo", "bognobo", "bobnobo",
etc. would seem to deform the word more.)
