infliger

== French == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin īnflīgere. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɛ̃.fli.ʒe/ === Verb === infliger to inflict, to impose ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written inflige- 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 ==== infliction === Further reading === “infliger”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
