estouffler

== Old French == === Etymology === From ex + touffer, a word from Latin typhus and ultimately Ancient Greek τῦφος (tûphos, “steam, vapor”), from τύφω (túphō, “to smoke”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰ-, extended form of *dʰew- (“scatter like dust”). === Verb === estouffler (of the wind) to blow to fill with air ==== Conjugation ==== This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -er. 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 ==== French: étouffer Norman: êtouffer Walloon: stofer
