Accents in Am. English

[Herb Stahlke]

Not only doesn't Häagen Dazs have any meaning in any language, I don't
believe we're likely to run into too many real world instances of a long
vowel with the first half umlauted (hence presumably fronted) and the
second not.

Larry,

You've misinterpreted the form.  It's clearly OE vowel breaking.  It's the dessert Hrothgar served after Beowulf killed Grendel.
