The “g” is soft, and it kinda builds up to the “ho,” where the main accent is. It’s the name of a place in Louisiana. The first time I heard someone use that word in conversation (referring quite matter-of-factly to the place), I laughed out loud. I thought they were making it up. Someday I’ll find out what it means, and maybe I’ll even go there. There are lots of neat place names, sayings, and words here, because of the mix of Indian, French, African, and everything else.
