Sfat bla wlied.

qalb

qalbek (second-person singular)
qalbkom (second-person singular)
qalbu (masculine singular third-person)
qalbha (feminine singular third-person)

From Arabic قَلْب (qalb). The feminine gender in Maltese is unusual since the Arabic etymon is masculine, its form is that of a masculine, and even the Romance equivalents (Sicilian cori, Italian cuore) are masculine. One might suspect influence by the semantically related ras (“head”) and ruħ (“soul”), which are feminine; but this is mere conjecture.

Bl-istess libsa vjola, tikxifli ħobbok
lewn l-ewwel ftira ma’ ħjiel iż-żerniq,
bl-istess sandli, difrejk ħomor daqs qalbi,
u xagħrek immewweġ jofrogħ fir-riħ.

2021 [2017], Antoine Cassar, Erbgħin Jum, 2ⁿᵈ edition, Malta: Ede Books:

X’sejra ġġibilna ġewwa l-fardal tiegħek.
ja Sena Ġdida?
Ah! biegħed minna
il-għelt, il-ġlied,
id-demm bejn l-aħwa;
rażżan ir-regħba u l-ġibdiet tal-ħakma,
rattab l-irjus u l-qlub,
ġibilna s-sabar ta’ xulxin, l-imħabba,
ġibilna l-għaqda,
ġibilna s-sliem,
ġibilna l-ħelsien!

1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Lis-Sena l-Ġdida 1964”, in Fl-Arena:

Ta’ ferħ u serħ imlietni, u bħall-għasafar
u l-friefet jien għamilt: minn fjur għal fjur
ħsiebi tar bħal farfett, taħt siġra kbira
qalbi fesdqet il-għana bħal għasfur.

1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Fil-Ġnien”, in Fl-Arena:

Qalbi xebgħet bil-bejta
li dejjem ta’ kull sena
titwaqqa’ kull ħarifa,
u kull April tinbena,

sptar

mt-noun

sptar m (plural sptarijiet, diminutive sptajjar)

sptarijiet (plural)
sptajjar (diminutive)
spedal (alternative obsolete)

Eventually from Late Latin hospitale. The place and date of borrowing are uncertain, but regarding Algerian Arabic, Moroccan Arabic and Tunisian Arabic سبيطار (sbīṭār) it seems very plausible that the word was inherited from dialectal Maghrebi Arabic as spoken during the Arab reign (870 to 1127 AD). A later borrowing from Romance (both in Malta and North Africa) cannot be ruled out, but the phonetic agreement of the forms makes it seem unlikely.


stadet

third-person feminine singular perfect of stad


xemgħa

xemgħat (paucal)
xmejgħa (diminutive)
xamgħa (alternative)

singulative of xema’: a candle; a piece of wax


biss

From dialectal Arabic بَسّ (bass, “only”, as an interjection also “enough!”), in all likelihood from Persian بس (bas, “enough”), from Middle Persian ws (/was/).

inh

Jikteb mhux biss poeżiji, iżda wkoll għanjiet.

He doesn’t only write poems, but also songs.

“Jgħidilhom dwar Doris?!” sploda s-Surmast. “Niftaħlu rasu ktieb! Dan mnejn safejn ixandar l-affarijiet privati tiegħi?! Intom għidtuli li se jitkellem biss dwar il-kotba tiegħu!”

Lanqas ħallejtni biss inbus is-subien u l-bniet tiegħi. Imxejt tassew ta’ iblah!

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Ġenesi 31:28:

New International Version translation: You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.

Kulħadd jimxi, kollox lajma,
jirkeb biss xi sinjur kbir:
bini l-għatx u tawni nixrob
minn ġos-satal fuq il-bir.
