I think this is not correct. I have never heard that variation in 20 years on Sag and Saganagons.

My husband, who in the 1950's tripped with his family and Ben Ambrose as their guide, said it was pronounced SAGnuhguh at that time.

Well, that's how I pronounced it after the old feller told me so. But most of the time I just say "Sag."

The correct pronunciation is the same as the city and bay in Michigan

I have a Souris River canoe, and have always said Souris to rhyme with Morris. Last year when I called a dealership in Canada the guy pronounced it sur-EE. Another employee there had another way of saying it. Souris is the french word for mouse. The Souris River for which the canoes are named flows from Canada down to Minot ND then back to Canada. Folks in Minot seem to call it both the Mouse and Souris River, and the local Souris River Brewing company's video says SUR-is. Souris River Canoe company's videos don't actually mention the name. Hmmm.

quote Jaywalker: "I'm pretty sure I've been pronouncing Kekekabic wrong for about 20 years, placing the emphasis on the second syllable. Not sure if I heard it that way or just made it up. Can anyone here speak Ojibwe?
"
I speak some of the language (bungii eto go ninitaa Anishinaabemowin).
As the word stands now, I'd place emphasis like this: kay-kay-KAH-bik, though I don't know if that's how locals currently pronounce it. They might place emphasis on the second syllable-kay-KAY-ka-bik.
Nearest I can tell, Kekekabic would be a corruption of gekek-waabik, pronounced gay-KAYK-WAA-bik. Which I think means a rock cliff where there are hawks.

I'm-uh?

No clue. Never heard it spoken."
Well personally, just my opinion, but I think the real name of this lake is...
IM-A-Mosquito-Lake.
Just my experience as I saw five different varieties of mosquitos there during the great mosquito convention of June 2011.
Just found out recently that I have been pronouncing Zup's wrong for twenty some years. But on the radio commercials they say Zoop's.
Always wondered about Sag, too. We think it's more Indian origins ?? I used to say Sag a naw until I heard it pronounced Sa gon a ga so I really don't know for sure. But I know what I mean! Hahaha

quote JimmyJustice: "There are words that I think I know how to pronounce, but probably do not. For example, is it Per-meth'-rin or Perm'-e-thrin? Such pronunciation problems remind me of one of my dad's old adages..."don't talk so dumb".
What BWCA related words have you talking dumb...or even worse remaining silent? "
I try to avoid words such as this one :)

I was sort of hoping you were out there OgimaaBines! I do recall seeing an old book say the lake was named for where the hawks nest on the cliffs, or something close to that. I was way off and am glad to be corrected on this one as its one of my favorite lakes.
