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 *-oill, *-oills, *-oillt are modified to oil, ouz, out. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide.
