ftila

mt-noun

ftila f (plural ftejjel, paucal ftiliet)


furban

furban m (plural furbani or furbana, feminine furbana)

furbani (plural)
furbana (plural)
furbana (feminine)

Likely formed from a nominal use of Sicilian furbu or Italian furbo, with possible influence from Arabic قُرْصَان (qurṣān). The suffix ‘’-an’’ is probably the Maltese suffix -an. Compare also the 17th-century Italian phrase guallera furbina (“corsair galley”).


bettieħ

bettieħa (singulative)
btietaħ (plural)
bettiħat (paucal)
bettiħiet (paucal)
bettiħ (alternative)
bittiħ (alternative)

From Arabic بِطِّيخ (biṭṭīḵ). The etymologically more justified (and prescriptively preferred) spelling bettiħ is very rare in practice since the word is treated as belonging to the common measure C-e-CC-ie-C. (The phonemes /iː/ and /ɪː/ are merged before /ħ/ and /ʔ/.)

mistħija

Wara l-bibien,
fit-tul tat-toroq twal,
batejt
il-għeja
il-qtigħ ta’ qalb,
batejt fuq kollox il-mistħija;
iżda ġarrabt ukoll
il-ferħ u l-għaxqa
li kull tallab iħoss
x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.
