Verb[edit]
abbellixxa (imperfect jabbellixxi, past participle abbellixxit, verbal noun abbellixxir)
- to embellish
Conjugation[edit]
- The traditional rule is that the syllable -ixx- is lost before stressed endings; that is in the past tense, before -x, and before a pronominal suffix. The contemporary tendency is to either keep -ixx- in all forms or avoid it in all forms (see abbella above).
