We called the fish leax before the French word came in and muscled that word out.

Thank you Faldage , now I know where the Swedish gravadlax comes from. I know it survives in German - Lachs, but I didn't know the leax part.

I pronounce the l in salmon and almond, it prolonges the a-sound
and somehow that makes me want to have both treats right now! Love those maps.

Quote:
13.53% say something between “l” and nothing
2.45% say “other”, which is quite the leap from “almond” :p
Laugh!
