I was going to open an issue to complain that 54f8927 had changed abiciate to abjiciate in the antiphon for the Benedictus on the feast of St. Cecilia, but then I discovered usage is divided about 50-50 in the repo. Should we be preferring one of these two forms? I thought we were preferring the former, but now I'm not so sure.
The question also regards other words derived from iacio. Abicio is considered more classical, so it's what the 1961 editio typica used, but it's also likely to be mispronounced, because people who haven't studied Latin won't know that the single i should be pronounced as if it were two. Thus former breviary editors, who were more concerned with helping readers than being classical, wrote abjicio.
