I don't understand the pronunciation of the word bagel. That is one of the things I don't understand.

You'd expect it to sound like bag-el rather than bay-gul?

I'd expect the G be like in rage, wage, page. Bay-dž-l. That probably makes no sense to somebody who doesn't know what dž signifies.

How could one do that?

Just upload a circular image.

That is good to know. It is, however, not the comparative form of the adjective boring?

I may have just made that up. Not sure on the comparative; maybe?

I wasn't previously familiar with dž, but I get what you mean. Soft g seems a bit pointless to me, though; why not just use j instead? raje, waje, paje.
