== Maltese == === Alternative forms === assorba === Etymology === Borrowed from Italian assorbire. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /as.sɔrˈbɪʃ.ʃa/ Rhymes: -ɪʃʃa === Verb === assorbixxa (imperfect jassorbixxi, past participle assorbit, verbal noun assorbir) to absorb ==== 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 assorba above). ==== Related terms ====
