ériger

== French == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin ērigere. Compare Old French erdre, which was inherited. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /e.ʁi.ʒe/ === Verb === ériger (transitive) to erect ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written érige- 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. ==== Related terms ==== érection === Further reading === “ériger”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
