Three words in the English language end in “gry”. Hungry, angry what is the third word?

Commentary I can handle but don’t answer with I don’t know. Seriously, what is the third word?

Research from the Oxford English Dictionary, Simon & Schuster’s Webster’s New World Dictionary, and the G.C. Merriam Company gives us this list:

aggry: A glass bead found buried in the ground in Africa. A word of unknown origin. Seemingly always used attributively, as in aggry beads.

braggry: A variant form of braggery.

conyngry: An obsolete dialectal variant of conyger, itself an obsolete term meaning ‘rabbit warren’.

gry: The smallest unit in Locke’s proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a (‘philosophical’) foot. Also the grunt of a pig, an insignificant trifle, or a verb meaning to roar.

iggry: Egyptian colloquial Arabic pronunciation of ijri: ‘Hurry up!’, brought back after the First World War by members of British and Australian forces who had fought in Egypt.

mawgry: from Old French: being regarded with displeasure.

meagry: Having a meager appearance.

nangry: A variant form of angry.

podagry: Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it.

puggry: A variant form of puggree, a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun.

Aside from words derived from “angry” and “hungry,” there is no stand-alone word ending in “gry” that is in current usage. Both Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0-87779-201-1) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0-19-861186-2) contain the compound word “aggry bead.” To find a third word ending in -gry that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to archaic, obsolete, or uncommon words, or personal or place names, like-

Chockpugry, Langry, MacLoingry, tingry [OED (see “parquet”)]etc.
