   Hi Alison, for the zh sound your example is equation. Wondering if motion and similar others should go here? Very useful your all you do! Thanks!

      Hi Mariana, “motion” has a “sh” sound, I have a big list of those kind of words here: https://www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/sh/ti-as-in-lotion. All the best, Alison

      No, motion makes the ‘sh’ sound not the ‘zh’ sound

      Of course there are many more words with the spelling ‘tion’ for the final syllable, my list is here: http://www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/sh/ti-as-in-lotion. Can you think of any with voiced /zh/ as the initial fricative of the syllable? (pronounced’zhun’ not ‘shun’).
