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


aħwa

From Arabic إِخْوَة (ʔiḵwa, “brothers”). The use also for “sisters” from generic use of the masculine, perhaps reinforced formally by the construct form ħut, which would have been close to *ħwiet, the expected outcome of Arabic أَخَوات (ʔaḵawāt).

From Arabic. The Maltese plural directly continues طُرْش (ṭurš), plural of أَطْرَش (ʔaṭraš). The singular might go back to an intensive/frequentative form *طَرُوش (*ṭarūš) or might be a backformation from truxija (“deafness”).

tieqa

mt-noun

tieqa f (plural twieqi or (obsolete) tiqan, diminutive twejqa)

From Arabic طاقة (ṭāqa, “window”), from طاق (ṭāq, “arch, doorway”), from Middle Persian tʾg (tāg, “arch”). The form tieqa instead of *taqa probably goes back to a variant *تاقة (*tāqa), in which the initial had been dissimilated against the q; compare dejjaq and others. Compare also Moroccan Arabic تاقة (tāqa) alongside طاقة (ṭāqa).
