These verbs are conjugated mostly like verbs in -er, but there is an extra i before the e of some endings. The forms that would normally end in *-c, *-cs, *-ct are modified to z, z, zt. In addition, c becomes ç before an a, o or u to keep the /ts/ sound intact. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide. ==== Descendants ==== → Middle English: enhauncen, anhaunse, anhaunsen, enhansen, enhaunce, enhaunse, enhaunsen, anhawncen, enhance, enhaunsyn, enhawnce, enhawse, in-hawnse (Late Middle English), anansy, anhansy (Gloucestershire) (via an Anglo-Norman variant with /n/)English: enhance ==== References ==== Frédéric Godefroy (1880–1902), “enhaucier”, in Dictionnaire de l’ancienne langue française et de tous ses dialectes du IXe au XVe siècle […], Paris: F[riedrich] Vieweg; Émile Bouillon, →OCLC.
