girates
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is a misspelling since gyrates comes from the Latin word gyrare (to turn around). Gyrate has its 3rd person singular form in present simple tense and this is gyrates. Girates is a mistaken spelling.
gyrates
Correct spelling, explanation: this word originates in Latin gyrare and it partly kept the original spelling. This is why the correct form of this word is gyrate, and the 3rd person singular in present simple is gyrates (we add s to the end of the verb in such cases). Girates is further from Latin gyrare and is incorrect.
