The primary purpose of this operation is ensure that "the g" sound is preserved.
A "Hard-G" is like: guy, gum, gone
Primarily, GAR verbs go to "GUE" whenever there is an "E" sound at the end.
This preserves the "Hard-G" sound
An Astericks (*) before the verb indicates an additional stem change.
E ==> IE (abnegar ==> abniegue)
O ==> UE (colgar ==> cuelgue)
