Fowler's Modern English Usage:
cultivable, cultivatable |
are both used in the meaning 'capable of being cultivated'; the first is more comfortable and was preferred by Fowler (1926). Neither word is particularly common in everyday usage, being recorded with a combined total of less than 100 in the Old English (up to 1150)C, but within this tiny statistic cultivable leads by about six to one.
