The net result of this comparative study is that one can say that Malta owes the vocabulary of its wild plants to Arabic even if some of them are local formations from existing roots (the larger number) and to Italian or Sicilian (the smaller number). 1973-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/26228 Title: Maltese etymological glossary Abstract: This glossary is a collection of words of Arabic origin with a few Romance loan-words which are not etymologically straightforward in the sense that they are not etymologically identifiable at first sight as is the case of a large number of words that are obviously common to both Maltese and Arabic. 1972-01-01T00:00:00Z
