Pronunciation

Verb

*ergere (past participle *erctum) (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)

  1. raise

Reconstruction notes

The modern Ibero-Romance verbs were rebuilt from the 1SG form */ˈɛrɡo/ (> Spanish yergo, Portuguese ergo), hence they have /ɡ/ rather than /θ/ or /ʒ/ throughout their inflexion paradigms.
