The word "Ligge" is spelled with two consonants, "L" and "G", and one vowel, "I". It is pronounced as /ˈliːɡə/, with emphasis on the first syllable. The "I" sound is long and the "G" is pronounced as a soft "J". In Old English, this word meant "to lie", as in "to rest in a horizontal position". However, it is now considered an archaic spelling and is rarely used in modern English.
