  1. far

Maltese

Etymology

From Arabic لِ‎ (li). The final -l may be due to backformation from the personal forms, themselves derived by reduplication. Compare Moroccan Arabic ليل‎ (līl, “for”), North Levantine Arabic لإلي‎ (laʔilli, “to me”), لإلك‎ (laʔillak, “to you”), etc., reduplicated personal forms of ل‎ (la). And compare a similar backformation from the personal forms in Maltese lejn.
