1 The present participle was variable in gender and number until the 17th century (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], Une esthétique nouvelle: Honoré d'Urfé, correcteur de l'Astrée, p. 179). The French Academy would eventually declare it not to be declined in 1679. | |||||||
2 The gerund was held to be invariable by grammarians of the early 17th century, and was usable with preposition en, as in Modern French, although the preposition was not mandatory (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], op. cit., p. 180). |

- to protect, to defend
- Synonym: defender
- 1915, Ricardo Flores Magón, La patria burguesa y la patria universal:
- Protegernos los pobres, está bien: ése es nuestro deber, esa es la obligación que nos impone la solidaridad. Protegernos los unos a los otros, ayudarnos, defendernos mutuamente, es una necesidad que debemos satisfacer si no queremos ser aniquilados por nuestros señores; pero armarnos, y echarnos unos sobre los otros para defender el bolsillo de nuestros amos, es un crimen de lesa clase, es una felonía que debemos rechazar indignados.
