It's kind of a dumb question.
How do you pronounce "Frogge"? As in, the leather halter piece that would fit on a belt or sash that holds bludgeons and daggers?
I've tried looking in a dictionary and on Google, but can't find a pronounciation key anywhere. Is it a made up word?

http://dictionary.reference.com/ is great for pronunciation keys, but I couldn't find the word in there at all. Sure it's an English word?

It's not a made-up word.
It'd be pronounced "frog" nowadays, but back in older English, the trailing Es were pronounced (which means, yes, "Ye Olde Shoppe", which is completely wrong, would be "yee oldee shoppee").

I think the trailing e's were pronounced as unaccented short e's. Not accented long e's. Practically silent, kinda like trailing e's in French are practically silent (or accented.)

On a related note, demesne is pronounced deh-MENE or deh-MAIN. There is no s, honest.
Sekneov2006-12-29 20:20:42
So basically it sounds like "frog"?

Basically. Since it has a hard final consonant, I don't think you'd hear the difference even if you were listening for it.

The way I pronounce "Frogge" is "Frog" And then I get bashed in the stomach and breathe out a bit. Afterall, its ment to hold maces.
Frogges now a days you can find pictures of them on the net in reference to holding daggers and tools.
