Maltese
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /sta.bɪˈlɪʃ.ʃa/
Verb
stabilixxa (imperfect jistabilixxi, past participle stabilit, verbal noun stabilir)
- alternative form of stabbilixxa: to establish
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 stabila above).
