Pronunciation: ipa: /kɛɡ/

ipa: /kæɡ/
note: dated, New England, Virginia, South Carolina
ipa: /keɪɡ/
rhymes: -ɛɡ
Forms: form: kegs
form: cag
form: kag
form: kager
Etymology: From Middle English kag, from Old Norse kaggi (“keg”), likely a diminutive of Proto-Germanic *kagô (“bush, branch, stalk, stump”). Cognate with Icelandic kaggi (“keg; cask”), Norwegian kagg (“keg”), Swedish kagge (“keg”), Low German kag (“vessel; craft”), Dutch kaag (“vessel; craft”). Compare also English cag and chag.
The modern form keg with /ɛ/ is due to a dialectal raising of /a///æ/ to /ɛ/ before velars (cf. fleg); the expected form is preserved in dialectal /kæɡ/, while /keɪɡ/ reflects further raising that occurred in some dialects.
Senses: examples: text: He bore on his shoulder a stout keg, that seemed full of liquor, and made signs for Rip to approach and assist him with his load.
