Great article. I definitely want to check out Kagi and mastodon.

As an aside relating to Kagi rhyming with doggy: does corgi also rhyme with Kagi, for you? Do hag and hog rhyme for you?

For me Kagi rhymes with waggy and Maggie, but not doggy.

Just very interested in the English language ❤

The Kagi FAQ says it’s pronounced “kah-gee,” and I interpret “ah” as a short O sound. They may have meant a short A though, as you say. There’s not really a way to distinguish between them if you write phonetically, they’d need to use IPA or something.

EDIT: They link to this YouTube video for a pronunciation demo. Definitely rhymes with "doggy."
