   note: it is difficult to say when we are not to use -able
         instead of -ible. "yet a rule may be laid down as to
         when we are to use it. to all verbs, then, from the
         anglo-saxon, to all based on the uncorrupted
         infinitival stems of latin verbs of the first
         conjugation, and to all substantives, whencesoever
         sprung, we annex -able only." --fitzed. hall.
