Nouns are followed by the abbreviations (m) for masculine, (f) for feminine, or (pl) for plural. Adjectives are entered in their masculine form. Since the Maltese verb-system has no Infinitive form, the entry for verbs is the root-word for the 3rd person masculine singular of the Perfect tense.Where English and American orthography differ, I have selected the American spelling.

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or
follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.
When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.
When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft
aspirate sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.
The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in
pronunciation.
N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:
-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.
-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.
-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs
is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.
N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in
pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.
The symbol 's/h' indicates that 's' and 'h' are to be pronounced
separately, as in the English word 'mishap'
N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the
beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".
N.B.(4) Pronunciations are given inside parentheses. A primary, or strong,
stress is indicated by an apostrophe immediately following the syllable so
stressed.
