It is?  I use /ej/ in "sang", and I *think* that that's the usual
pronunciation around here.  I could be wrong, and it's just another
example of my weird accent.  But at any rate, it's definitely the same
vowel as in "sang", whatever other people say.

Can't remember.  Okay, just asked my Mom on AIM, it's "Saenger".

Not a clue.  Probably someone's name.
