Yes, leg, good one, how come I did not think of that. "Legget" is probably the closest. But isn't lay, without the y, sounding the same? I mean, the vowel? Maybe a little bit longer... I just could not remember any words where the English people pronounce "e" as I wanted.

Good, that should serve this purpose. Thanks.

Okay, I hope this matter is solved and we don't get any chat skwerl to be sent against us...
