This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -ier , with a palatal stem. These verbs are conjugated mostly like verbs in -er , but there is an extra i before the e of some endings. The forms that would normally end in *-c , *-cs , *-ct are modified to z , z , zt . In addition, c becomes ç before an a, o or u to keep the /ts/ sound intact.
