Maltese

Etymology

From Arabic صَلَّى‎ (ṣallā, “to pray”). In this sense it was replaced in Maltese with talab, a loan translation of Sicilian prigari.

In order to understand the semantic development, it would have to be known whether the association with Islamic prayer has been inherited through the centuries. If so, this could well explain the origin of the negative sense “to blaspheme” among the staunchly Catholic Maltese. However, that association may simply be due to a modern learned practice after the Arabic cognate verb.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈsal.la/

Verb

salla (imperfect jsalli, past participle msalli)

1. to praise God
2. to perform the Islamic obligatory prayer
3. to blaspheme
4. (obsolete) Alternative form of sella (“to greet”)
