In my neck of the woods, “peg” is pronounced with what I was taught is a short “e” sound as in “beg” ”and “dregs”. “Leg” is pronounced with a long “a” sound as in “snowflake” and “plague”. The phrase “peg leg” contains two completely different and distinct vowel sounds. Here, Megan rhymes with “pagan” and “Reagan” (the former president).

How would “peg leg” sound for you folks?
