Etymology

[edit]

Originally an alternative form of lilu (to him), etc., pronominal forms of Arabic لَ (la, to, for), إلَى (ʔilā, to, towards). The adverbial construction exists in several Arabic dialects; compare e.g. North Levantine Arabic إلي يومين ما نمت (ʔili yawmayn ma nimt, I haven’t slept in two days). The postpositional use is derived therefrom.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Adverb

[edit]

    (literally, “To me two days I don’t sleep.”)
    Xmun ilu seba’ xhur fil-ħabs.
    Simon has been in jail for seven months.
    (literally, “Simon to him seven months in jail.”)

Usage notes

[edit]
