ddifferixxa (imperfect jiddifferixxi, past participle differit)

  1. to differ, to be different

Conjugation

[edit]
  • 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 ddiffera above).
