[Ads-l] groj sale

[Tom Zurinskas]

I wonder if "groj would be pronounced one syllable or two.

thefreedictionary.com has it

ga·rage
  (gə-räzh′, -räj′)

Click the speaker icon and hear   ~gerraazh   (stress after double consonant)

Click the USA flag icon and hear   ~gerraazh (same as above)

Click the UK flag icon and hear   ~gairij  (rhymes with carriage ~kairij)

Subject: groj sale

Saw, for the first time, a sign for a groj sale yesterday. “Groj sale” gets 12K raw Google hits but is not in Wiktionary or the online Oxford dictionaries.
