Verb

[edit]

détranger

  1. (transitive, horticulture) to drive away (insects that injure the plants).[1]

Conjugation

[edit]

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written détrange- 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.
