kkontribwixxa (imperfect jikkontribwixxi, past participle kkontribut or kkontribwit)
- to contribute
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 kkontribwa above).
