The "z" is not commonly used in Scandinavian languages. In fact, it
only appears in some word "lent" from other languages. In these cases,
there are no clear rules of pronunciations. In stead, each individual
occurence of words with "z" in them has its own rule of pronunciation,
normally matching the original source of the word.
