ombrager

== French == === Etymology === From ombrage +‎ -er. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɔ̃.bʁa.ʒe/ === Verb === ombrager (transitive) to shade (transitive) to overshadow ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written ombrage- 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. === Further reading === “ombrager”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
