Well, that's what I had thought previously -- though one of the bits you snipped after where I wrote "before a vowel" adds the important caveat "at the beginning of words"! Which -ia and -ium aren't.
Though I had kind of liked the idea of -/ja/ and -/jum/ :) I was trying to figure out how proper classical Latin went here, so I could decide whether to follow it in my "revamped Latin". I think I'd at least move to /-ja/ etc. in descendants of my "revamped Latin" ....
