Usage notes
Although most derivates come from base verbs ending in en -y, not all end in en -fy, either actual etymology or through surface analysis. Notable exceptions are en application (from apply), en Californication (from California), and en mesophication (from mesophyte). Compare en -ification, en -cation and en -faction.
