Common Mispronunciations of Lodged
Not LAH-jid
The ending presses straight onto the j without claiming a beat of its own, so this is as short as lodge.
Not LAHCHT
Both the j and the d keep their voice to the end. Devoiced, the word drifts towards latched.
Tip: Lodge, lodged and lodging keep the same short vowel, the o of dog.
