>>Proper spelling of pronunciation?

Or do you mean "Proper spelling OR pronunciation

Sorry I don't know the answer to either. . . but I was the 4th grade spelling bee champ. . . .

I believe it's "Ge(t) - TROG". Not sure about the first part but 100% sure about the second half it's TROG even though spelled Trag.
