Subject: Pronunciation of Eglot
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 21:56:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87plxsrw4i.fsf@yahoo.com> (raw)

Sorry if this quite whimsical question has already been answered--but
what is the pronunciation of the "E" in "Eglot"?  Is that first vowel
the /i/ in "Emacs" (perhaps yielding /iːɡlət/), or is it the /ɛ/ in
"egg", giving /ɛɡlɑt/?

Another question is whether the correct, or in any case official,
pronunciation deserves a mention in the Eglot manual.

This information will enable many Emacs apostles not to embarrass
themselves, should the Emacs world have already agreed on a standard
pronunciation :-)
