‎demək (“to say”) + ‎-il → ‎deyilmək (“to be said”)

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/.

Middle English

Suffix

-il

  1. Alternative form of -el (“agentive suffix”)
