Verb

loger

1. (intransitive) to lodge, to stay, to be lodging (to temporarily inhabit)

   Trouver un endroit où loger ― To find a place to stay

2. (transitive) to find (someone) a place to stay
3. (intransitive) to fit into

Conjugation

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

1 The present participle was variable in gender and number until the 17th century (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], Une esthétique nouvelle: Honoré d'Urfé, correcteur de l'Astrée, p. 179). The French Academy would eventually declare it not to be declined in 1679.
2 The gerund was held to be invariable by grammarians of the early 17th century, and was usable with preposition en, as in Modern French, although the preposition was not mandatory (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], op. cit., p. 180).
