How do you say "associatoin" and "associate" (v) or "associated"

[Tom Zurinskas]

The words below are the only ones out of the top 5k words in print that have "cia" in them.  A count is given out of 15.4 million words total.  Almost all words with "cia" have ~sh for "ci".  Exception is "financial" with ~ch and perhaps "association" is ~s (but I have ~sh here for consistancy with "associate").  Total word count was 15.4 million.
