Shillelagh embodies this for me. None of my guesses were even close.
Looks like Irish also has varying pronunciations with the same spelling, because the shillelagh -lagh sounds like lee, but in the name Shelagh (or Sheelagh) it's lah.
Looks Irish or I guess Gaelic is the word in looking for? I'm guessing something weird like ji-gah-lo
It is Irish yeah, it's shill-LAY-lee
