argüer

Another spelling variant of arguer, placing the diaeresis over the u instead of the e (argüe rather than arguë) — this reflects the pre-1990 orthography. Meaning is identical: to argue or contend.

• Il argüe que le contrat est nul. — He argues that the contract is void.
• Elle argüe de bonnes raisons pour refuser. — She cites good reasons for refusing.
• On ne peut pas argüer ainsi sans base légale. — One cannot argue this way without a legal basis.

This is a pre-reform spelling that's increasingly rare in modern print — stick with the plain arguer for anything you write yourself.
