ħsieb

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.

larinġ

larinġa (singulative)

Probably inherited from Arabic نارَنْج (nāranj, “bitter orange”), from Persian نارنگ (nârang). The -i- seems to be the result of imala and does not appear in any of the relevant Romance cognates. Since bitter oranges were cultivated in Sicily since the Arab reign, inheritance is also historically likely. The initial l- may be due to influence by Sicilian l’arancia, though it could be explained as dissimilation.


frott

Borrowed from Sicilian fruttu or Italian frutto, from Latin fructus.

U qal Alla: “Ħa tnibbet l-art il-ħaxix, ħaxix li jagħmel iż-żerriegħa, siġar li jagħmlu l-frott biż-żerriegħa ġo fih skont għamliethom, fuq l-art.” U hekk sar.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Ġenesi 1:11:
