A complete list of these words would be too long for a table of ready reference, but the different endings may be determined by this rule : Words which, in their shortest form, end with -d, -de, -ge, -mit, -rt, -se, or -ss, are usually lengthened by the ending -sion. Other words take the ending -tion.
