mgħix

mgħix (feminine mgħixa, plural mgħixa or mgħixin)

mgħixa (feminine)
mgħixa (plural)
mgħixin (plural)

Derived from the present form jgħix (“he lives”) by analogy with other verbs in which the past participle is equivalent to the present tense + prefix m-, such as jibni (“he builds”) → mibni (“built”). The fact that this form is equivalent to Classical Arabic مَعِيش (maʕīš) is merely coincidental. In the verb għex the improper form is equally common as the proper megħjux because the participle as such is rare and therefore mostly formed ad hoc. One also finds mgħin for megħjun (“helped”) and mgħib for megħjub (“disappeared”), but these are exceptional.

ndokra (alternative informal)

Probably from a variant of Sicilian aducchiari (“to have an eye on”), derived from occhiu, from Latin oculum (“eye”). The appropriate form *nducchirari is cited in Maltese literature. Otherwise the incorporation of the Sicilian infinitive ending in the Maltese verb would be unusual.
An alternative suggestion derives it from riguardari (“to watch”). This would plausibly have been borrowed as *rgorda, but the further development requires several steps of dissimilation and metathesis (e.g. *rgodra → *ngodra → *ndokra), which ultimately makes this derivation unlikely. Aquilina, finally, proposes ndagari (“to investigate”), which however involves the same problem concerning the -r- as aducchiari and is semantically further off.
