Verb

ammonixxa (imperfect jammonixxi, past participle ammonit, verbal noun ammonir)

1. to admonish, to caution; to reprimand

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 ammona above).
