Okay.. here is the problem:
In a certain story I am writing, I have a place called the "Winged Lion Inn" which serves as a locus for several story-related events.
I have a friend that insists it should be [pronounced] the "Wingèd Lion Inn" instead, using "learnèd" or "three-leggèd" as examples.
English is a highly flexible language, especially when dealing with matters of pronunciation, so I would like to know if my friend's view is correct.
