ambixxa

Maltese

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian ambire.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /amˈbɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

ambixxa (imperfect jambixxi)

  1. to aim high

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 amba above).
