== Champenois == === Noun === coudre (Auve) elbow === References === Tarbé, Prosper (1851), Recherches sur l'histoire du langage et des patois de Champagne‎[1] (in French), volume 1, Reims, page 109 == French == === Etymology === Inherited from Old French coudre, cosdre, from Vulgar Latin *cōsere, from Latin cōnsuere. The original Old French infinitive was *co(u)sre, where -d- was inserted as a gliding sound. The preconsonantal -s- then became silent, in this case dropping from the spelling relatively early on. The d-spellings in the present tense are merely analogical (for expected je cous, il coût). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kudʁ/ === Verb === coudre to sew dé à coudre ― thimble machine à coudre ― sewing machine to mend ==== Conjugation ==== This verb is conjugated like rendre, except that its stem is coud- in only part of the conjugation. Before endings that begin with vowels, the stem cous- (with a /-z-/ sound) is used instead; for example, nous cousons, not *nous coudons. ==== Derived terms ==== cousu de fil blanc motus et bouche cousue découdre recoudre ==== Descendants ==== Haitian Creole: koud Mauritian Creole: koud → Esperanto: kudri === Further reading === “coudre”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === couder == Norman == === Etymology === From Old French coudre, from Latin corylus. === Pronunciation === === Noun === coudre m (plural coudres) hazel == Old French == === Verb === coudre alternative form of cosdre ==== Conjugation ==== This verb conjugates as a third-group verb.
