Il-Miklem Malti. 10 Volumes

A milestone in the study of Maltese as a semitic language. This Dictionary includes over 30,000 entries, with each entry explained from its etymological origin to its common use. It also includes toponomy, names of plants, animals, birds and fish, proverbs and popular idioms. To mark the twenty-fifth anniversary from its publication, Midsea Books, republished the Dictionary in a limited hardback edition. An additional volume was produced to include new words, an index of linguistic roots and related grammatical description.
