"talab" meaning in Maltese

See talab in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈta.lap/
Etymology: From Arabic طَلَبَ (ṭalaba, “to demand, ask, beg”). Though the Arabic verb can mean “to ask God in prayer”, the general sense “to pray” is not present. In Maltese, it is without doubt a semantic influence from Sicilian prigari (both “to ask” and “to pray”), from Latin precari.
