Am I correct to assume the change of i to j in the partitive plural only occurs if it's preceded by the final vowel (possibly modified) of the stem, but it remains i when that vowel is replaced by i? In other words, it's bo-i-a because the singular final vowel a got replaced by i in the plural. Whereas for example in risti, the vowel is not replaced (though it is modified), but i is added on: rist-i > rist-e-i, thus rist-e-j-a.
