Difference between ささぐ and ささげる


beginner Japanese language self-learner here. I hope my question isn't a bad
question.

As title suggested, I would like to know about the difference between the two
verbs which I understood have the same dictionary meaning, "to dedicate."
However, beyond the fact that ささぐ is a 五段 verb and ささげる is an 一段 verb, I
really have no idea how/when to use which.

Thank you,




The meaning is exactly the same, but you'll only see ささぐ used in old/formal
written text or in lyrics where the number of syllables matter a lot.

For all the other uses, stick to ささげる.
