the lonely affricate

A question: does anyone know of any language which has a "j" sound -- [dZ] =
--
but no "ch" -- [tS]?  One of the peculiarities (there aren't many) of Arov=
=EBn's
phonetics is that it has just one affricate, although it's otherwise pretty=
 well
rounded-out as far as consonants go:

m [m]   b [b]   p [p]  (v [v]   f [f])  w [w]
n [n]   d [d]   t [t]   z [z]   s [s]   l [l]
.       .       .       j [dZ]  c [S]   r [r]
=F1 [N]   g [g]   k [k]   h [h,C] *       y [j]

* g can sometimes be pronounced [G], especially if it has mutated from an h=
.
h is pronounced [h] except when it comes after a "full" vowel, especially
  if it is then followed by a "flat" vowel ([E], [I], [A.], [U] are flat,
  the other six are full; the distinction is important for stress and for
  word construction).  The initial cluster hy- is always pronounced [Cj].
c is a retroflex [S] (is there a special symbol for this?)

the "j"-"sh" situation seems to make sense to me, but I don't know of a sin=
gle
natural language which is like this.  Perhaps the retroflex c is what keeps
plain [Z] (as a distinct phoneme) or [tS] from creeping into the language -=
-
a retroflex [Z] seems unlikely (though I'm sure there are languages which h=
ave
it), as does retroflex [tS].  The language also has a ty- [tj], and the -ts=
-
combination often occurs near the ends of words, e.g. <lak> --> <laksen>, w=
hich
might help exclude [tS]...
