renaître

1. (intransitive) to be reborn, to be born again
2. (intransitive) to reappear, to resurface
3. (figurative) to rekindle

• In spoken French, the compound tenses are rarely used, without doubt owing to the homophony of the past participle, rené, with the name René. e.g.:

  2004, Jean-Michel Brèque, transl., Olympos, translation of original by Dan Simmons:

  Et j’aurais récupéré ce que je dois savoir sur ce monde meilleur où je suis renée (René).

  & I would have remembered what I need to know about this better world where I was reborn (am René).
