"eu" meaning in French

See eu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /y/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-Lyokoï-eu.wav Forms: eue [feminine], eus [masculine, plural], eues [feminine, plural]
Etymology: From Middle French eu, from Old French eü, from Vulgar Latin *habūtus, replacing Classical Latin habitus. The spelling, which contradicts the pronunciation, is because Middle French -eu- besides /ø/ also sometimes represented long /yː/. The latter cases were generally replaced with -û- in Early Modern French, e.g. dû, flûte for Middle French deu, fleute. However, in the case of eu and related forms the spelling û was considered awkward and so the Middle French form was preserved.
