Verb

attribwixxa (imperfect jattribwixxi, past participle attribwit, verbal noun attribwir)

1. to attribute

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 attribwa above).
