-ax

From common dialectal Arabic -aʿš, -āš, from عَشَرة (ʕašara, “ten”), whence Maltese għaxra. There is evidence that the underlying għ had already been vocalised in this ending before the same happened as a general development in Maltese (hence also the lack of it in the spelling). We find the same vocalisation in some modern Arabic dialects; compare Egyptian Arabic حداشر (ḥidāšar, “eleven”).

cog

tnejn (“two”) + -ax → tnax (“twelve”)

sebat (“seven”, attributive) + -ax → sbatax (“seventeen”)

Used to form the pronominal forms of the cardinal numbers from 11 to 19; -teen.


ammen

Borrowed from Italian ammen, from Latin amen, from Ancient Greek ἀμήν (amḗn), from Hebrew אָמֵן (ʾāmēn).

tieġ

From Arabic تَاج (tāj, “crown, diadem”). Semantically from a ceremonial headpiece worn on one's wedding day. Possibly the bride's chaplet (the symbol of her virginity), but more probably the wedding crowns of the Byzantine tradition, by which Malta was influenced in the Middle Ages.

majjal

majjal m (plural majjali, feminine majjala, diminutive majjalett)

qama

a fathom (linear measure from the end of one arm extended horizontally to the end of the other) which was often used to measure the depth of seawater, officially 6 ft. or ~1.8 m.


mqar

The same word as Greek μακάρι (makári), Romanian măcar, Italian magari, Spanish maguer, Andalusian Arabic مكار (ma(k)kār, “even, at least”). Probably from Ancient Greek μακάριος (makários), perhaps through the interjection ὦ μακάριε (ô makárie, “lucky you!”). While this etymology is generally accepted, compare also Persian مگر (magar, “but, unless, perhaps”), whence Ottoman Turkish مگر (meger).

to ease, facilitate (a situation, problem)


frosta

Borrowed from Sicilian frusta or Italian frusta, both probably from Latin fustis. Sicilian chiefly uses the Arabic borrowing zotta, itself cognate with native Maltese sawt. On the other hand, the Maltese -o- would seem to imply a fairly early borrowing before the phonemicisation of [ʊ].

Wieqfa taħt is-salib Marija f’agunija.

midneb

midneb m (plural midinbin, feminine midinba)

From Arabic مُذْنِب (muḏnib, “sinner, wrongdoer”). The plural midinbin is regular: The unstressed -e- is deleted, yielding *midnbin, where the -n- needs an epenthetic -i- because sonorants cannot stand between two other consonants. Compare the same in mislem, misilmin.


imla

second-person singular imperative of mela

qed

From a contracted pronunciation of qiegħed, from Arabic قاعِد (qāʕid, “sitting”), used in a number of dialects (like Tunisian Arabic and Hijazi Arabic) to form progressive tenses, originally in the sense “he’s sitting there (talking, drinking, etc.)”. Unrelated to Arabic قَد (qad), a modal particle, which does not express progressiveness.

X’qed tagħmel? – Qed naħsel ħwejġek.

What are you doing? – I am washing your clothes.

Dal-lejl ħlomt ħolma.
Waħda ħelwa, imma stramba.
Fil-verità, waħda li qed noħlom ta’ spiss.

2019, Kristina Borg, Imkejjen u Rkejjen, Ede Books, →ISBN, page 18:

Last night I had a dream.
A pleasant dream, but strange.
Actually, it's a recurring dream.

Destroy, kill those vines,
the offspring of the worker’s sweat,
keep the poor man in the hovel alone,
without bread, without light, without peace!
