The University of Michigan Middle English woodbook often helps to show the path that words (foreweening that they overlived into Middle English): https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/structure.html

However, both spunge and gingifer would have been outspoken as /spunche/ and /yingiver/. The -ia ending in Latin shapes -ha, -ja, -za sways in other speeches, and Old English has othernesses such as 'spunc' (spunch), meaning that it was likely outspoken as new English 'spunche'. Singe was likely the same. As for 'ginger', the new outspeaking was feesed by French.
