    According to dictionary.com, the 'a' in 'Tag' is pronounced like the 'e' in 'item'. The 'a' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'father' and the 'o' in 'log' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'paw'.

    So, I think it is like coma says, except perhaps with more of an e-sound in the first syllable: Te-gah-log.
