"ġie" meaning in Maltese

See ġie in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /d͡ʒɪː/
Etymology: From Arabic جَاءَ (jāʔa, “to come”). As in some Arabic dialects, a suppletive form is used for the imperative. Maltese ejja, ejjew seem to be from the interjection هَيَّا (hayyā, “come!, come on!, let’s go!”). Since Maltese h would have left no phonetic trace in this position, the lack of it in the spelling may be simply because the relation was not recognised or not considered certain. It is also possible, however, that some early source already spells it without h. This would weaken the proposed etymology, but not rule it out.

Maltese ejja, ejjew seem to be from the interjection هَيَّا (hayyā, “come!, come on!, let’s go!”). Since Maltese h would have left no phonetic trace in this position, the lack of it in the spelling may be simply because the relation was not recognised or not considered certain. It is also possible, however, that some early source already spells it without h. This would weaken the proposed etymology, but not rule it out.",
