As a rule, the examples listed at the top of each of these
Vocabulary pages are monosyllabic words which have only one phoneme
in common: the stave of the document.
However, three of the four examples above start with |JOO|, which
means that they have both |J| and |OO| in common.
(Moreover, two of them are disyllabic, but this is not a matter of
principle.)
Here there are just no words starting without |JOO| in the
pronunciation to show the different representations of |J| in words
starting with u, eu and
ew(e) in the spelling.
