6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'p' and 'c' present potential challenges. Italian generally avoids consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables, but these are permissible within the word, especially in derived forms. The 'nn' at the end of the penultimate syllable is a common feature of Italian future tense endings.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb in the future tense. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of the context.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Verb
• Translation: They will hood/cloak.
• Synonyms: coprire con un cappuccio (to cover with a hood), ammantare (to mantle)
