Do any Japanese words start with n besides ンジャメナ?
It depends on what you'd count as a "Japanese word". Almost certainly nothing
that is natively Japanese will start with ん. However, there are a few words in
other languages that would have it. For example, "ng" is a common starting
sound in names in a few languages (including Vietnamese and some Chinese
dialects). I know of someone whose surname is "Ng", and it caused a lot of
trouble in getting them registered in some Japanese systems since there was an
automatic validation preventing them from writing it as ング.
