pag as in pagan? or pag like bag?

I'm not familiar with the word, but I usually fall back on my Latin lessons to pronounce unfamiliar scientific/medical terms, in which case it's likely the a in -pag- is pronounced as a short "ah" sound, as in "father.'

No need to be ambiguous when demonstrating pronunciation.

pro so peg no sia. I'm thinking it also depends on what country your from.

Alright, good enough. Thank you all.
