Note
The verb keeps its final y before -ing, as verbs ending in a consonant plus y do (carrying, hurrying), but turns it to ie before -ed: jellied. That past form doubles as an adjective, as in jellied eels or a jellied stock, while jellying names the setting in progress, as when a stock is chilled until it holds its shape.
