"ra" meaning in Maltese

See ra in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /raː/ Audio: LL-Q9166 (mlt)-GħawdxiVeru-ra.wav
Rhymes: -aː Etymology: From Arabic رَأَى (raʔā). An oft-cited archaism in Maltese as the verb has been displaced in most contemporary dialects (some preserved it though like the dialect of Sfax/Tunisia). The peculiar use of the imperative is similar to Maghrebi forms like راني (rāni) etc., which ultimately developed into pronouns.
