Usage notes
The adjectival sense of this word is sometimes spelt with a grave accent, to indicate that the second �e� is pronounced as IPAchar|/ɪ/, rather than being silent, as in the verb form. Such usage is usually restricted to poetry and other works wherein it is important that the adjective�s disyllabicity be made explicit.
