Verb[edit]

ddiġerixxa (imperfect jiddiġerixxi, past participle diġerit, verbal noun diġerir)

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 ddiġera above).
