"facci" meaning in Sicilian

See facci in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈfatt͡ʃi/, [ˈfatt͡ʃɪ] Forms: facci [plural]
Etymology: Ultimately inherited from Latin faciēs. The regular result for a Sicilian noun deriving from the fifth Latin declension is generally a regularization on the declension of the first through a process of vulgarization (cf. ràdica). The expected output should have been, therefore, a reconstructed *fazza (passing first from the intermediate forms fakies > fakia > fakja). The absence of〈-a〉as a typical feminine ending and the irregular palatalization of the nexus -VkjV- lead instead towards the linguistic influence of an Old French or Norman stratum. Compare accia, sacciu, siccia for similiar morphological developments into Sicilian. Cognate with Italian faccia, Catalan faç, Sardinian facci, Galician and Portuguese face. That, along with the apparent absence—at least in the 1920's—of a Sicilian variant with final /-a/ (again per the AIS), makes a borrowing from Italian faccia unlikely.
