nemes

mt-noun

nemes m (plural inmsa or nemsijiet, feminine nemsa)

inmsa (plural)
nemsijiet (plural)
nemsa (feminine)

From Arabic نِمْس (nims), though the Maltese form is slightly irregular and points to an underlying *namas.


sahra

From Arabic سَهْرَة (sahra, “instance of waking the night”).

inh

(religion) vigil (private or communal act of devotion at nighttime)

Fir-raba’ sahra tal-lejl mar lejn in-naħa tagħhom miexi fuq il-baħar.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, San Mattew 14:25:

New International Version translation: Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

(historical, biblical) watch; watch of the night (one of four divisions of the night in Antiquity)


żebbuġ

żebbuġa (singulative)
żebbuġtejn (dual)
żbiebeġ (plural)
żebbuġiet (paucal)

From Arabic زَنْبُوج (zanbūj), زَبُّوج (zabbūj), eventually probably from Berber. Compare Moroccan Arabic زبوج (zabbūj, “(wild) olive tree”), Tunisian Arabic زبوز (zabbūz, “(wild) olive tree”).


Ċ

The third letter of the Maltese alphabet, following B and preceding D, representing the phoneme /tʃ/.


ħ

The letter mainly continues Arabic ح (ḥ) and Arabic خ (ḵ). These two phonemes were merged into /ħ/ around Valetta since at least the 18th century, but continued to be distinguished as /ħ/ and /x~χ/ elsewhere. By the later 19th century, however, this merger had established itself throughout the language (thus significantly earlier than that of għ, which see).
Additionally it may continue Arabic ه /h/. This letter was mostly vowelised (see h), but as first or last radical of a root it sporadically underwent fortition instead.
The symbol <ħ> was apparently first used by Maltese canon Giusseppe Martin Cannolo in 1822 in the first Maltese written Gospel, though it was not popularised until the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, being officially adopted in 1924.

coinage

The eleventh letter of the Maltese alphabet, called ħe and written in the Latin script.

bambin

From Italian bambino (“child, baby”). Compare Italian Bambino Gesù (also Bambin Gesù).

Sena wara l-oħra jasal il-Milied. / Il-Bambin jitwieled, l-ogħla fost l-ulied.

2021, “Doqqu, qniepen, doqqu”performed by Family Affair:

Year after year, Christmas time comes. / The Holy Child is born, the highest among children.

u qalb il-pal tal-bajtar
il-flieles żgħar minn bejn ir-rix tal-qroqqa
joħorġu jnaqqru l-brajma tal-ġulġliena;
u ġol-benniena
fid-dar ta’ ħdejn il-lewża
fil-ħeġġa tal-ħommejr
jitwieled bambin żgħir

1949, Anton Buttigieg, “Żmien ir-Rebbiegħa”, in Fanali bil-Lejl:

baby, toddler; almost exclusively used referring to Baby Jesus and therefore often capitalized as il-Bambin (Ġesù)

ċ

The dot indicates the “softer” of two pronunciations, in this case the affricate /t͡ʃ/ instead of the plosive /k/ (the two possible realisations of c in Italian). Compare ġ and ż.

The third letter of the Maltese alphabet, after b.


Ġ

The seventh letter of the Maltese alphabet, written in the Latin script.


għ

Continues Arabic ع (ʕ) and غ (ḡ). The two phonemes were merged into /ʕ/ around Valetta since at least the 18th century, but continued to be distinguished as /ʕ/ and /ɣ~ʁ/ elsewhere (in some rural dialects until the later 20th century). Both in merging and non-merging dialects, /ʕ/ was weakly articulated and eventually vowelised, though word-finally after stressed vowels it underwent devoicing to [ħ] instead.
The symbol was apparently first used in 1859 by the newspaper Il Habib tal Maltin (as an adaptation of earlier ), though it was not popularised until the first half of the 20th century.

The ninth letter of the Maltese alphabet, called ajn and written in the Latin script.


Għ

The ninth letter of the Maltese alphabet, written in the Latin script.


Ħ

The eleventh letter of the Maltese alphabet, written in the Latin script.


ż

The dot indicates the “softer” of two pronunciations, in this case the fricative /z/ instead of the affricates /t͡s/, /d͡z/. Compare ċ and ġ.

The twenty-ninth letter of the Maltese alphabet, called że and written in the Latin script.


Ż

The 29th (and penultimate) letter of the Maltese alphabet, after X and before Z.

Jien, li fl-imħabba kelli biss sensiela twila ta’ diżappunti; jien li kont bdejt nemmen li qatt mhu se nsib lil min iħobbni, issa kont ħassejt li f’salt wieħed seħħ miraklu. Kont skirt bl-imħabba.


ċpar

Uncertain. Possibly related to Egyptian Arabic شبورة (šabbūra), also شابورة (šābūra, “mist”). Since sonorants are often used to extend roots, the final r need not be original. In that case, it may pertain to Arabic شُؤْبُوب (šuʔbūb, “shower of hail or rain, vehemence of heat”, and in one old source “thin rain cloud”), itself perhaps related with شَوْب (šawb, “state of being mixed, turbid, dim”, in modern dialects also “hot wind, heat”). Joseph Aquilina instead suggested a Romance etymology from a derivative of Sicilian ghioviri, chioviri, chiuppiri (“to rain”), from Latin pluere. In the end both theories passably explain the consonantism, but the vocalic form remains very unclear.
