abborrixxa

== Maltese == === Alternative forms === abborra === Etymology === Borrowed from Italian abborrire. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ab.bɔrˈrɪʃ.ʃa/ Rhymes: -ɪʃʃa === Verb === abborrixxa (imperfect jabborrixxi, past participle abborrit, verbal noun abborrir) to abhor, to detest ==== 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 abborra above). ==== Related terms ====
