figer
French edit
Etymology edit
Inherited from Old French fegier, from Vulgar Latin *feticāre, ultimately from Latin ficatum.
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
figer
Conjugation edit
This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written fige- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
