Etymology

Borrowed from Italian proibire. Displaced native mana’.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /(ɪ)p.prɔjˈbɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

pprojbixxa (imperfect jipprojbixxi, past participle projbit)

  1. to forbid; to ban; to prohibit

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 pprojba above).
