French edit

Etymology edit

From grillage +‎ -er.

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ɡʁi.ja.ʒe/
  • (file)

Verb edit

grillager

  1. (transitive) to enclose with wire netting

Conjugation edit

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written grillage- 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.
