Verb

abborrixxa (imperfect jabborrixxi, past participle abborrit, verbal noun abborrir)

  1. 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).
