Usage notes
The suffix is somewhat productive in German, but only with Latinate stems. The generally applicable suffix is de -bar. Sometimes both forms are in use, e.g. de deklinabel and de deklinierbar.
As generally with adjective in de -el, the -e- is dropped before inflections (thus de -able etc. instead of de -abele).
