tewmi

tewmi m (plural tewmin, feminine tewmija)

From Arabic تَوْأَم (tawʔam). The expected form would be *tewwem. The form tewmi is either a backformation from the plural or derives from an adjective; compare Arabic تَوْأَمِيّ (tawʔamiyy).


għaliex

From underlying Arabic عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْء (ʕalā ʔayyi šayʔ, literally “on what thing”). By surface analysis, għal (“for”) + *iex (“what”); see xiex for the latter. Cognate with Moroccan Arabic علاش (ʕlāš, “why”).

sweet pepper, bell pepper; sweet pepper, bell peppers (several peppers; pepper as a species or mass)


tursin

Borrowed from Sicilian pitrusinu, from Latin petroselinum, from Ancient Greek πετροσέλῑνον (petrosélīnon). Probably an early borrowing in which the initial pi- was interpreted as the preposition bi (“with”), thus Maltese bit-tursin (“with parsley”), whence the backformation.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, San Mattew 3:4:

New International Version translation: John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

Jekk inti tibqa’ ma tridx tibgħat lill-poplu tiegħi, arani, għada nġib il-ġradijiet fl-art ta’ pajjiżek.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Eżodu 10:4:

New International Version translation: If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow.

elmu

From Sicilian elmu and/or Italian elmo, both from Latin helmus, from Frankish *helm, from Proto-Germanic *helmaz. The Italo-Romance word is usually restricted to military helmets; the broader use in Maltese may be due to influence by English helmet, eventually from the same Germanic word.

merħla

merħla f (plural mrieħel, paucal merħliet)

Derived from Arabic رَحَلَ (raḥala, “to saddle, to journey”), which in early Maltese was used of herdsmen and their animals; compare raħħal (“herdsman, stockbreeder”), from Arabic رَحّال (raḥḥāl, “traveller”). The underlying form is probably مَرْحَلة (marḥala) or *مِرْحَلة (*mirḥala), though the formation would seem to be independent from the Arabic word meaning “day’s journey, stretch”. It could also be مُرْحَلة (murḥala) or مُرْحِلة (murḥila); compare أَرْحَلَ (ʔarḥala, “to have many camels; to train a camel; to become fat [of a camel]”).

Wara l-bibien,

bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.

maktur

Borrowed from Sicilian maccaturi, muccaturi, probably from Old Occitan mocador. Cognate with Catalan mocador, French mouchoir.

Fuq il-blata ġej u sejjer, fuq il-blata nerġa’ mmur.
 Għax hemmhekk għandi namrata, u xxejjirli bil-maktur.
 Ħanina, nitolbok ħaġa: Islifli ftit il-maktur!
 Dawk in-nies ma jkunux jafu, ’l ommok ma ngħidilhiex żgur.

To the rock I come and go, on the rock I always walk,
 For I have my sweetheart there, and she waves to me with a handkerchief.
 Darling, one thing I ask of you: Lend me that handkerchief a while!
 Those people won’t even know, and I sure won’t tell your mum.

From common dialectal Arabic جَاب (jāb), from a univerbation of جاءَ بِ (jāʔa bi-, literally “to come with”). By surface analysis, ġie + b’. The vowel -a- is irregular; the expected form is the less common variant ġieb.

X’sejra ġġibilna ġewwa l-fardal tiegħek.
ja Sena Ġdida?
Ah! biegħed minna
il-għelt, il-ġlied,
id-demm bejn l-aħwa;
rażżan ir-regħba u l-ġibdiet tal-ħakma,
rattab l-irjus u l-qlub,
ġibilna s-sabar ta’ xulxin, l-imħabba,
ġibilna l-għaqda,
ġibilna s-sliem,
ġibilna l-ħelsien!

1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Lis-Sena l-Ġdida 1964”, in Fl-Arena:

to work out, to form, to calculate; to guess, to succeed

to publish, to make public (in newspapers); to expose to people's gossip

U jmut il-ħut li hemm fin-Nil, u tinten in-Nil u l-Eġizzjani jiddardru jixorbu minnha.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Eżodu 7:18:

King James Version translation: And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.


ħutiet

paucal of ħuta: 2 to 10 fish; a small number of individual fish

ħelsien

Maltese derivation from ħieles (“free”), from Arabic خالِص (ḵāliṣ); replaced ħlas (now only “payment”).


għaxqa

From Arabic عِشْق (ʕišq, “love, romantic passion”).
