sebat m or f

  1. long attributive form of sebgħa (seven)
    Coordinate term: (short attributive form) seba’

Usage notes

edit
  • The attributive forms are used before counted nouns.
  • The long form is often favoured in words containing fewer syllables and beginning with either an epenthetic vowel or a consonant cluster requiring an epenthetic vowel before the first consonant. In the latter case, the epenthetic vowel is added as in the following example: tfal (children)sebat itfal (seven children). Note, only select exceptional words such as (i)jiem, erwieħ or snin strictly warrant the long form, other words merely consider it optional and usage varies from speaker to speaker from time to time. That is to say seba' tfal is possible, but unlikely given the consonant cluster & monosyllabic nature of the word.
