mislem

mt-noun

mislem m (plural misilmin, feminine misilma)

From Arabic مُسْلِم (muslim, in dialects widely mislim). The word was inherited from Arabic as referring to a group of people with whom the Maltese remained in contact, while islam is a learned borrowing from Italian. Similarly, in other European languages, words for “Muslim” (like English Mussulman) are generally much older than the words for the religion. For the phonotactics of the plural misilmin, compare midneb.

ltim m (plural ltiema or lotom, feminine ltima, diminutive ltejjem)

From Arabic يَتِيم (yatīm) with the initial semivowel replaced with l under influence of the article, as also in Lhudi and illum.


wisq

Possibly from Arabic وُسْع (wusʕ, “that of which one is capable, one's capacity, power”), with a rare shift from għ to q, which however could be accounted for in this phonetic position. Alternatively from وَسْق (wasq, “freight, load”); compare semantically English a load of (“much”).

inh

kollox għafsa. kollox fastidju. forsi
għax għadu (wisq) kmieni. forsi.
għax dallejl xtaqt stajt nimtedd maġenbek

għollieq

għollieqa (singulative)

biża'

biża’ (canonical feminine masculine)

a traditional unit of weight, still used e.g. in farming and household contexts, equivalent to 5 ratal, that is officially 8.75 imperial pounds (3.969 kg), now widely metrified informally to mean 4 kilogrammes


ratal

From Arabic رَطْل (raṭl), from Classical Syriac ܪܝܛܠܐ (rīṭlā), metathesis of ܠܝܛܪܐ (līṭrā), from Ancient Greek λῑ́τρᾱ (lī́trā).

a traditional unit of weight, still used e.g. in household contexts, officially 1.75 imperial pounds (0.794 kg), now widely metrified informally to mean 800 grammes

għammieq

mt-adjective

għammieq (feminine singular għammieqa, plural għammieqa)

għammieqa (feminine singular)
għammieqa (plural)

Going by the spelling, from an underlying Arabic *عَمّاق (*ʕammāq), which would seem to be an intensive form of عَمِيق (ʕamīq, “deep”). However, given the vocalic mergers involving għ and q in Maltese, the root would have been liable to irregular developments. Compare għamieq (“depth”) for more.


għamieq

Probably from Arabic أَعْماق (ʔaʕmāq, “depths”), plural of عُمْق (ʕumq). Alternatively from the nominalised adjective عَمِيق (ʕamīq, “deep”), or from a blend of them. The forms would have merged phonetically in Maltese. Compare għammieq.

(literary) depth (that which is deep below; the deepest part)

milgħaqa

From Arabic مِلْعَقة (milʕaqa, “spoon”, literally “licking tool”).
A more etymological spelling would be milagħqa, because the underlying form is *milgħqa, where -a- was inserted to break up the inadmissible consonant cluster (as similarly in mibegħda). The spelling milgħaqa implies an Arabic *مِلْعاقة (*milʕāqa). However, Maltese does not apply the etymological principle slavishly.


milgħaqiet

/mɪ.laˤːˈʔɪːt/


kuċċarina

From a diminutive of Sicilian cucciara, cucchiara, from Latin cochlearium, ultimately from Ancient Greek κοχλῐ́ᾱς (kokhlĭ́ās, “snail”).


blata

nagħniegħ

From Arabic نَعْناع (naʕnāʕ), from Hurrian.


biex

Inherited from dialectal North African Arabic. By surface analysis, b’ + *iex. Cognate with Moroccan Arabic باش (bāš, “so that”). Compare Maltese għax (“because”), which is from Arabic عَلَى شَأْنِ (ʕalā šaʔni, literally “on the issue of”), which is also present in Egyptian Arabic. Biex may be a similar formation.

m+

عَلَى شَأْنِ

(final) so that; in order that; often rather expressed in English with to + infinitive


biex

عَلَى شَأْنِ


jidher

third-person singular imperfect of deher


setgħa

Verbal noun of seta’ (“can, be able”), itself from a reanalysis of Arabic اِسْتَطاعَ (istaṭāʕa). Semantically without doubt after Italian potere (“can, be able”, and as a noun “power, might, authority”), or rather its Sicilian equivalent putiri. Compare also Italian potenza, from Latin potentia. All eventually from posse (“can, be able”).

der

Arabic اِسْتَطاعَ (istaṭāʕa)

Ġesù resaq ikellimhom u qalilhom: “Lili ngħatat kull setgħa fis-sema u fl-art. […]

From Arabic قَلَعَ (qalaʕa, “to pull out, rip off, uproot”). The sense “to vomit” perhaps reinforced by the fact that the verb (with its initial uvular and final pharyngeal) would have been somewhat onomatopoeic of retching; compare unrelated but phonetically similar Arabic قاءَ (qāʔa, “to vomit”).


qala'

qala’ (canonical feminine)
qlugħ (plural)

From Arabic قِلْع (qilʕ, “sail”). Feminised because of the final a-sound.

From Arabic حارَسَ (ḥārasa), rare variant of حَرَسَ (ḥarasa, “to guard, watch over, protect”), or an independent alteration of the latter. The semantic development under influence of Sicilian guardari, from Frankish *wardōn, perhaps additionally also of ussirvari, from Latin observare.

U waqt li nħares fuq ta’ qalbi x-xitla
tat-tifkiriet tinbet tifkira ġdida,
b’warda ta’ swied il-qalb fejn tilma demgħa
minn ħbub għajnejja.

1949, Anton Buttigieg, “Fuq Qabar Oħti”, in Fanali bil-Lejl:

to observe; to keep (e.g. a commandment)


ħares

mt-noun

ħares m (plural iħirsa or ħorsien or ħarsijiet)

iħirsa (plural)
ħorsien (plural)
ħarsijiet (plural)

In the present form it should be from Arabic حارِس (ḥāris, “guard, guardian”), active participle of حَرَسَ (ḥarasa) above; quite plausibly through the idea that ghosts watch over, or haunt, certain localities. The unusual plural iħirsa (from underlying *iħrsa as in iġsma) might then be explained as continuing Arabic حَرَسة (ḥarasa). However, it is worth noting that Castagna in his history of Malta says that the peasants, even in his day, believed the ħares to be a black snake that controlled the destiny of a house’s inhabitants and therefore must never be killed. This leaves the possibility that the eventual etymon may in fact be Arabic خَرْساء (ḵarsāʔ, “viper”, literally “deaf one”).


unur

Borrowed from Sicilian unuri, from Latin honor.

From Arabic دَعَا (daʕā, “to call, call upon God, pray”). The sense is from the construction دَعَا عَلَى (daʕā ʕalā, “to imprecate, pray for divine vengeance against”). The same generalisation in the sense of “to curse, swear, abuse” is found in some Arabic dialects, though only for the prepositional construction, not the verb as such.


jidgħi

third-person masculine singular imperfect of dagħa


agħar

From Arabic *أَعَرّ (*ʔaʕarr). Related to għarr.


aħjar

Apparently from Arabic أَخْيَر (ʔaḵyar), elative of خَيْر (ḵayr), which latter also serves as an elative on its own. However, the long second syllable may point to influence by خِيار (ḵiyār) or أَخْيار (ʔaḵyār), plurals of the same خَيْر (ḵayr).

Miexja fil-funeral ta’ kuġintha
mart it-tabib, li mietet fl-aħjar tagħha;
u f’moħħha ħsieb għaddej li t-tabib jista’
kif jgħaddi ftit taż-żmien, jitgħarras magħha.
