Cross-language.... something

[afuna]

Trying to find an English word which sounds out like "ng+g" (not necessarily spelled that way), to prove (or maybe disprove) a point in a conversation.

I thought "finger" was close, but it turns out it's pronounced "fin+ger", rather than "fing+ger", huh.

I think I pronounce it that way, at least a bit, but I am NANS (not a native speaker) and also do that with the same word in German :)
