  • IPA(key): /as.sɔrˈbɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

assorbixxa (imperfect jassorbixxi, past participle assorbit, verbal noun assorbir)

  1. 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).
