Maltese

Etymology

From the syllable -ar in Arabic عَشَر (ʕašar, ten). The same alternation between absolute and attributive form is found in most modern dialects of Arabic, though generally with the original consonant r preserved. Compare North Levantine Arabic تنعش (tnaʕš, twelve), attributively تنعشر (tnaʕšar).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɪl/

Suffix

-il

  1. Used to form the attributive form of cardinal numbers 11 to 19.
    erbatax (fourteen)erbatax-il jum (fourteen days)

Usage notes

  • The suffix is spelt with a hyphen for phonetic reasons. It is, namely, apart from a few recent borrowings from English the only case where preconsonantal i in a final syllable is short. Thus, /ɛrbaˈtaːʃɪl/ is rendered as erbatax-il rather than *erbataxil, which latter should be pronounced */ɛrbataˈʃiːl/.
