At this site and you can see how to pronounce the word triskaidekaphobia by clicking on the speaker beside of the pronunciation. The suffix (frigga) sounds like twig or big-
frig gah
Friday is Frigga's Day. Frigga (Frigg) was an ancient Scandinavian fertility and love goddess, equivalent to the Roman Venus who had been worshiped on the sixth day of the week. Christians called Frigga a witch and Friday the witches' Sabbath; modern Wiccans are happy to oblige.
2. (paraskavedekatriaphobia) correct spelling
A morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th.
Therapist Dr. Donald Dossey, whose specialty is treating people with irrational fears, coined the term. He claims that when you can pronounce the word you are cured.

what will I do?...its already done. I accidentally ran over my neighbors pet cat on the way to work this morning and probably killed it. The day is still young though, and yes I'm thinking I am now afraid of Friday the 13th and what worse things could happen today if I started out the day with being a 'Kittykiller'.
