"Dear little log (stump)" is a literal English equivalent of the Italian word ciappelletto. The pronunciation of the masculine singular noun -- which is a regional diminutive formed from the masculine singular noun ceppo ("log, stump") and whose most famous use is as the friar in Book I of Decamerone ("The Decameron") by Giovanni Boccaccio (June 16, 1313 - December 21, 1375) -- will be "TCHAP-pel-LET-to" in Italian.
