| Nru. | Każ | Deċiżjoni | Evidenza u raġuni |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | bies → falkun | Miżjud lura | FishBase lists both names for Dactylopterus volitans. The earlier bird-only interpretation was wrong; add explicit fish senses. FishBase: common names of Dactylopterus volitans ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 2 | bies → ħamiema | Miżjud lura | FishBase lists both names for Dactylopterus volitans. The earlier bird-only interpretation was wrong; add explicit fish senses. FishBase: common names of Dactylopterus volitans ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 4 | ħafer → ħaffer | Għadu mwarrab | The imported source attaches ħaffer to condone, but its target documents digging. No independent condone meaning was found. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 5 | ħamiem → beċċun | Għadu mwarrab | The imported target means a young pigeon. This narrower age meaning does not establish equivalence with pigeons/doves collectively. BirdLife Malta: Malta Bird Report 2023–2024, species list ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 6 | Ħaqq għal-Madonna → Ħaqq għall-Madonna | Miżjud lura | Published Maltese prose attests ħaqq għall-Madonna as an exclamation. Restore with corrected għall- and interjection classification. Omar N’Shea: Illejla Ħierġa b’Xagħri Mxarrab, Aphroconfuso ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 7 | kannamiela → kejn | Għadu mwarrab | The source labels the cane loan Australian. Independent Maltese-Australian attestation of kejn meaning sugar cane was not located. The humility homograph proves neither validity nor invalidity. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 8 | kelb → żibel | Għadu mwarrab | The reporting attests these words as personal abuse. It does not establish the precise cruel-person sense or unrestricted interchangeability of the imported link. The Shift: analysis of published personal insults (2018) ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 9 | kelb → ħmieġ | Għadu mwarrab | The reporting attests these words as personal abuse. It does not establish the precise cruel-person sense or unrestricted interchangeability of the imported link. The Shift: analysis of published personal insults (2018) ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 12 | kunjat → ħam | Għadu mwarrab | The available ħam entry is specifically father-in-law, whereas the imported kunjat gloss says parent-in-law. Independent evidence resolving this broader definition was not located. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 13 | kwadru → kaxxa | Għadu mwarrab | A box can be square, but that does not establish kaxxa as a synonym of the unqualified geometrical square sense. No reliable sense-specific attestation was found. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 14 | liba → żibel | Għadu mwarrab | The reporting attests these words as personal abuse. It does not establish the precise cruel-person sense or unrestricted interchangeability of the imported link. The Shift: analysis of published personal insults (2018) ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 15 | liba → ħmieġ | Għadu mwarrab | The reporting attests these words as personal abuse. It does not establish the precise cruel-person sense or unrestricted interchangeability of the imported link. The Shift: analysis of published personal insults (2018) ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 18 | natka → tina | Għadu mwarrab | The source explicitly gives the buttock meaning, but independent evidence for tina in that meaning was not located. Keep the fig homograph separate; do not declare the slang meaning impossible. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 19 | pala → keffa | Miżjud lura | The Maltese medicine leaflet uses keffa tal-id anatomically. Add the palm-of-the-hand sense; preserve the pala tal-id construction restriction. European Medicines Agency: Erelzi product information in Maltese ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 20 | pene → xadin | Għadu mwarrab | The imported synonym list gives a genital euphemism. Independent Maltese attestation of xadin in that sense was not located. The monkey sense alone cannot decide it. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 21 | qanbra → ċuqlajta | Għadu mwarrab | BirdLife identifies ċuqlajta specifically as Woodlark, Lullula arborea. That supports a bird meaning, but not interchangeability with the unqualified lark sense of qanbra. BirdLife Malta: Malta Bird Report 2023–2024, species list ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 22 | qolla → ġarra | Għadu mwarrab | A jar may serve as a clay beehive. The source sense also extends to any beehive; ġarra cannot be assumed to cover that extension. The separate jar sense is unaffected. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 23 | sangisug → qalfat | Miżjud lura | The BUWAĦĦAL entry explicitly identifies qalfat and sangisug as names of Petromyzon marinus. Add qalfat’s fish meaning. Martin Morana, Kliem u Storja: BUWAĦĦAL ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 25 | wadab → vleġġa | Miżjud lura | The WADAB entry explicitly defines the rubber-powered implement as vleġġa / żbandola. The earlier arrow-only interpretation was wrong. Martin Morana, Kliem u Storja: WADAB / WADAF ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 26 | ċass → ġifa | Għadu mwarrab | The original source links abject/lacking personality and coward, across adjective and noun uses. Independent evidence for this precise overlap was not located. A word-class difference alone is not a rejection reason. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 27 | ċe bit-tikka → baħnan | Miżjud lura | Spagnol explicitly explains ċe bit-tikka through baħnan and other words for a fool. Restore in the disparaging personal sense. Michael Spagnol: 5 ittri li saru kliem ↗ Michael Spagnol: 10 kelmiet tal-2021 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 28 | Eġizzjan → Masri | Għadu mwarrab | The historical glossary discusses Egyptian origin and cotton, including the form Misri. It does not securely attest the exact obsolete Masri nominal-person sense required here. Martin Morana, Kliem u Storja: MASRI ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 29 | faqgħa → bomba | Miżjud lura | Spagnol groups faqgħa and bomba as slang praise for something exceptional. Restore only that predicative slang use, not the literal explosive meaning. Michael Spagnol: Ten Maltese words that went viral in the 2010s ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 30 | ġaħan → baħnan | Miżjud lura | Spagnol explicitly explains common-noun ġaħan as baħnan / sempliċi. Add the personal noun sense of baħnan. Michael Spagnol: 10 kelmiet tal-2021 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 32 | ħtieġ → għand bżonn | Għadu mwarrab | Historical discussion supports needing and having need, but the imported target għand bżonn lacks the person marking of għandu bżonn. An exact grammatical replacement needs a separate phrase review. Il-Malti (1940), Amba / jambi discussion ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 33 | jambi → għand bżonn | Għadu mwarrab | Historical discussion treats amba / jambi with restricted negative and usefulness constructions. It does not justify an unrestricted modern need synonym. Il-Malti (1940), Amba / jambi discussion ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 34 | kelb → aħdar | Miżjud lura | Published prose uses liba and aħdar of the same abusive person. This corroborates the source’s cruel-person insult sense; restore only as contextual personal abuse. Omar N’Shea: Illejla Ħierġa b’Xagħri Mxarrab, Aphroconfuso ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 35 | kważi → qrib | Għadu mwarrab | Near and almost can overlap in particular numerical or verbal constructions. Independent evidence for unrestricted substitution in the imported adverb sense was not located. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 36 | la → ħlief | Għadu mwarrab | The imported source labels la meaning except obsolete. Independent historical attestation of that precise meaning was not located; the modern negative/conjunction uses do not settle it. Akkademja tal-Malti: Tagħrif fuq il-Kitba Maltija, p. 75 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 37 | le → leqq | Għadu mwarrab | Tagħrif lists both le and leqq as adverbs, so the earlier word-class objection was too strong. This passage alone does not define their precise semantic equivalence. Akkademja tal-Malti: Tagħrif fuq il-Kitba Maltija, p. 75 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 38 | liba → aħdar | Miżjud lura | Published prose uses liba and aħdar of the same abusive person. This corroborates the source’s cruel-person insult sense; restore only as contextual personal abuse. Omar N’Shea: Illejla Ħierġa b’Xagħri Mxarrab, Aphroconfuso ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 39 | mbikkem → mutu | Miżjud lura | Falzon gives both mutu and mbikkem under DUMB. Retain only the inability-to-speak meaning; mark mbikkem as a participle rather than an ordinary finite verb. Grazio Falzon: Basic Maltese, English–Maltese vocabulary, DUMB ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 40 | minn moħħ → żnied | Għadu mwarrab | The glossary attests qalagħha minn żniedu meaning invent a false story. That supports the inflected idiom, not a free substitution of bare żnied for the whole phrase minn moħħ. Martin Morana, Kliem u Storja: ŻNIED, expression ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 41 | mislem → musulman | Miżjud lura | The scholarly article uses Misilmin and Musulmani for the same religious group. Add a separate nominal person meaning to musulman. Michael Cooperson: Ħarsa ġdida lejn ir-rakkont tal-Ħimjari (Il-Malti, 2014), pp. 43–44 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |

| 43 | mutu → mbikkem | Miżjud lura | Falzon gives both mutu and mbikkem under DUMB. Retain only the inability-to-speak meaning; mark mbikkem as a participle rather than an ordinary finite verb. Grazio Falzon: Basic Maltese, English–Maltese vocabulary, DUMB ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 44 | uwijja → xorta | Għadu mwarrab | Published uwijja, mhux xorta attests a discourse expression. Co-occurrence does not establish uwijja as a direct replacement for the adverb xorta. The Malta Independent editorial, 25 August 2018 ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 45 | xiħ → anzjan | Għadu mwarrab | The imported xiħ sense is specifically an obsolete community elder. Evidence for old age or the title The Elder does not establish anzjan as that institutional role. Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
| 46 | żnied → minn moħħ | Għadu mwarrab | The glossary attests qalagħha minn żniedu meaning invent a false story. That supports the inflected idiom, not a free substitution of bare żnied for the whole phrase minn moħħ. Martin Morana, Kliem u Storja: ŻNIED, expression ↗ Wiktionary · sors oriġinali ↗ |
