Luqa

Probably from Sicilian Luca, from Latin Lucas. The replacement of Romance [k] with Maltese [q] (later [ʔ]) is found in many words, especially in the vicinity of back vowels. The phonetic identity of the form with Arabic لُوقَا (lūqā), from Classical Syriac ܠܘܩܐ (lūqā), is probably coincidental, as there is otherwise not a single Christian proper name of Arabic origin in Maltese. Eventually from Ancient Greek Λουκᾶς (Loukâs).

Sidna

From Arabic سَيِّدُنَا (sayyidunā, literally “our master”), used among Arabic-speaking Muslims as a general title for prophets and saints. After rechristianization it was probably identified with Latin dominus (noster) and therefore restricted to Jesus. Analyzable as sid + -na.

ċimiterju

Borrowed from Sicilian cimiteriu, variant of cimiteru, from Latin coemeterium, from Ancient Greek κοιμητήριον (koimētḗrion). Doublet of zuntier.


irrabjat

post-consonantal and alternative basic form of rrabjat


serrieq

Probably from Arabic سَرّاق (sarrāq), سَرّاقة (sarrāqa, “kind of small saw”). This may itself be a borrowing from a Romance derivative of Latin serra (compare Sicilian sirraccu, Catalan xerrac). However, the perfect phonetic identity between the Arabic and Maltese forms makes inheritance likely. If so, the word must have entered Arabic fairly early on.

Probably an alteration of żekżek (“to peep, chirp”), from Arabic زَقْزَقَ (zaqzaqa). The change from [z] to the harsher [t͡s] perhaps onomatopoetic for muffled, aggressive speech.

feġġa (alternative)

Probably from Arabic فَجَأَ (fajaʔa, “to appear suddenly”). The phonetic form is slightly irregular (as one would expect *feġa) however its possible it was influenced by the event noun feġġ formed from the instance noun feġġa from Arabic فَجْأة (fajʔa).
Alternatively perhaps from فَجَّ (fajja) with the original meaning “to cleave, open”, which makes sense for example when feġġ is used of blood or tears that erupt from the body. Compare also English break out (“to emerge suddenly”), German anbrechen (“to begin”), etc.


feġġ

verbal noun of feġġ: appearance, appearing, especially when sudden or brief
