présager

== French == === Etymology === From présage +‎ -er. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /pʁe.za.ʒe/ === Verb === présager to predict, to foresee, foretell to forewarn to portend, be an omen of to bode ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written présage- 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 === “présager”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
