arguër

A spelling variant of arguer reflecting the traditional placement of the diaeresis (tréma) in certain conjugated forms. It means exactly the same thing — to argue or contend — and is not a separate verb in meaning, only in written convention.

• Il arguë que la décision était injuste. — He argues that the decision was unfair.
• Elle a arguë de son inexpérience. — She cited her inexperience.
• On ne saurait arguër ainsi sans preuves. — One cannot argue this way without proof.

This spelling is far less common in print than plain arguer — learners are better off writing arguer and not worrying about diaeresis placement at all in everyday use.
