x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.

From Arabic قَلْب (qalb). The feminine gender in Maltese is unusual since the Arabic etymon is masculine, its form is that of a masculine, and even the Romance equivalents (Sicilian cori, Italian cuore) are masculine. One might suspect influence by the semantically related ras (“head”) and ruħ (“soul”), which are feminine; but this is mere conjecture.

Ta’ ferħ u serħ imlietni, u bħall-għasafar
u l-friefet jien għamilt: minn fjur għal fjur

From Arabic رُكْبَة (rukba). The modern Maltese form with metathesis, gemination and devoicing is a backformation from the plural (or original dual). From the expected *rokba, it would yield *rukbtejn, where the triple consonant cluster was simplified to *rkubtejn. Compare the same in mnifsejn (instead of *minfsejn), plural of minfes (“nostril”).

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Eżodu 4:4:

Otherwise, derived verbal noun of għarrab.
