French
Alternative forms
Etymology
From Old French raire, from Late Latin ragĕre. Compare Romanian rage. Cf. also railler.
Conjugation
This verb traditionally has no past historic or imperfect subjunctive. They would be formed on a -ray- root: *je rayis, *que nous rayissions etc. Forms using the 'a' endings of verbs in -er are now used when there is an unavoidable need to use these forms. The root -rais- was used instead of -ray- in the 18th century, and remains in Swiss and Savoy dialects.
