Verb

ggarantixxa (imperfect jiggarantixxi, past participle ggarantit or garantit)

1. to guarantee, to warrant, to ensure, to assure

Conjugation

• 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 ggaranta above).
