unixxa

Maltese

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian unire.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /uˈnɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

unixxa (imperfect junixxi, past participle unit, verbal noun unir)

1. to unify, to unite

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 una above).
