Etymology
Borrowed from Italian istituire.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ɪs.tɪtˈwɪʃ.ʃa/
Verb
istitwixxa (imperfect jistitwixxi, past participle istitwit, verbal noun istitwir)
- to institute
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 istitwa above).
