Thanks Jez

The British RP (received prononciation) is the « arge" form, this I know. And I 
suspect the same applies in Br.Eng. to camouflage for the same historical 
reasons even though the stress is apparently on the first syllable in 
camouflage (3 syllables), and on the second and last one in RP garage (2 syll 
only), making it easier to skid from arge to idge while/when shifting the 
stress from 2 to 1, hence my question about camouflage in the US.
