begry - a 15th-century spelling of beggary.
conyngry: a 17th-century spelling of the obsolete word conynger, meaning 'rabbit warren', which survives in old English field names such as 'Conery' and 'Coneygar'.

"Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry".
There are three words in the English language. What is the
third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it
every day. Look closely and I have already given you the
third word. What is it?

Answer: "language".

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third
answer.

In the Eastern U.S., it isn't silent. In the Southwest, it's oftentimes (incorrectly) silent. In Georgia, folks do not use "prone" when you consider that they do not comprehend what the phrase method, and so it's rough to mention if the "L" could be reported or now not. (Sorry, I'm all upset approximately the pathetic state of public schooling in Georgia, in these days.)
