minn bejn l-imwiet

Maltese edit

Etymology edit

From Arabic مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَمْواتِ (min bayni al-ʔamwāti, from the dead), used with the same wording by Arabic-speaking Christians. It preserves an old broken plural of mejjet (dead), which has otherwise been regularized to mejtin in Maltese.

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ˈmɪnn ˈbɛjn lɪmˈwɪːt/

Adverb edit
