== Old French == === Alternative forms === espeluker, espeleker, espelicer, espeleucher, espelucher, espoulecher, esplucher, espulcher, espelicer, espeluquier === Etymology === From Vulgar Latin *expilūc(i)cāre, ultimately from Latin pilāre (“remove hair”). By surface analysis, es- +‎ peluchier. === Pronunciation === (classical) IPA(key): /espəlyˈt͡ʃjeːɾ/, (northern) /espəlyˈk(j)eːɾ/ (late) IPA(key): /epəlyˈʃ(j)eɾ/, (northern) /epəlyˈk(j)eɾ/ === Verb === espeluchier to peel to clean ==== Conjugation ==== This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -ier, with a palatal stem. These verbs are conjugated mostly like verbs in -er, but there is an extra i before the e of some endings. In the present tense an extra supporting e is needed in the first-person singular indicative and throughout the singular subjunctive, and the third-person singular subjunctive ending -t is lost. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide. ==== Descendants ==== Angevin: éprucher, éplucher Bourguignon: èpiucher Champenois: éplucher Middle French: esplucher, espelucher, esploucher, espluquierFrench: éplucher Norman: épluquer, épluquier, épeluqui, éplluquiei, épliuquir Picard: épluquer, épluquier Poitevin-Saintongeais: épiucher, épelucher, époblucher → Galician: espeluxar === References === espeluker on the Anglo-Norman On-Line Hub Walther von Wartburg (1928–2002), “*pĭlūcare”, in Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch (in German), volume 8: Patavia–Pix, page 506
