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 :-)

I think, on YouTube, most English native speakers seem to prefer /iːɡlət/.

Probably not, for it would be quite unsual.
YMMV.

Quite the contrary - a few tools I use do this. TeX and LaTeX are
probably the most famous, but definitely not the only ones.
Best,

I don't even know how Emacs is supposed to be pronounced!
In Sweden we say it like we would a word in Swedish, so that
can't be it anyway :)

The second sentence of the manual says: The name “Eglot” is an acronym
that stands for “Emacs Polyglot”.
From this I infer e-glot (as in e-mail) and rhymes with "dot"
(/i:glɑt/).
