About this verb#
- Prefixed perfective from грозить with у- (the prefix here strengthens the threat). Class 4b, end-stress throughout (угрожу, угрозишь, угрозят), with з → ж mutation in 1sg (угрожу). Rare in modern usage; the imperfective угрожать is far more common, and most native speakers don't use a perfective at all for 'threaten' (using пригрозить as a closer everyday alternative).
