Hi everyone,
I hope you could help me.
Do the words 'tig' and 'tag' have identical meaning?
Can they be used together for a particular effect in a poem:
I tig and I tag.
Thank you!
Is 'tig' the same as 'tag'? Could I write them together?

The words tig and tag can mean a children’s game involving chasing each other around. I’m not sure of the exact rules of the game but they appear to be the same. Afaik tag is more common.

Growing up in Scotland, we always used to say tig. Tag does have the same meaning in the context of a child's game as Joe mentioned.
