ewliemes

From Arabic أَوَّلَ أَمْس (ʔawwala ʔams). The long vowel is explainable as early contraction with the accusative ending -a, thus ʾawwala ʾams → ʾawwalām(i)s. A variant ʾāmis of Arabic أَمْس (ʔams) is apparently attested in isolated dialects, but it could also be due to backformation from the aforementioned contraction.

Prostituzzjoni tfisser ‘il-kummerċ fil-ħajja żienja għall-flus’ u dan ifisser li mhux kull mara żienja hija prostituta għaliex fejn m’hemmx l-għoti tal-flus, ir-rigal jew il-favur bi tpattija għal dan is-servizz, ma tistax tissejjaħ prostituzzjoni.

2017 November 5, “Reċensjoni tal-ktieb “Il-prostituzzjoni f’Malta””, in Kullħadd, page 26:

Prostitution means ‘dealing in a promiscuous lifestyle for money’, and this means that not every promiscuous woman is a prostitute because when there is no giving of money, gifts or favours in exchange for such service, this cannot be called prostitution.

sejjer

sejjer (feminine singular sejra, plural sejrin)

sejra (feminine singular)
sejrin (plural)

From Arabic سائِر (sāʔir), active participle of سارَ (sāra). The verb was lost in Maltese as it became homophonous with sar (“to become”), from Arabic صارَ (ṣāra).

Jien u sejjer l-iskola, rajt kelb mejjet.

Fuq il-blata ġej u sejjer, fuq il-blata nerġa’ mmur.
 Għax hemmhekk għandi namrata, u xxejjirli bil-maktur.
 Ħanina, nitolbok ħaġa: Islifli ftit il-maktur!
 Dawk in-nies ma jkunux jafu, ’l ommok ma ngħidilhiex żgur.

Traditional, “Ja ħanina”, performed by Frans Baldacchino:

To the rock I come and go, on the rock I always walk,
 For I have my sweetheart there, and she waves to me with a handkerchief.
 Darling, one thing I ask of you: Lend me that handkerchief a while!
 Those people won’t even know, and I sure won’t tell your mum.


sejjer

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!
