Etymology

From Arabic صَلَّى (ṣallā, to pray”, also “to pray for somebody, to bless). Regarding the e-vocalism and the verbal noun tislija there may have been a merger with Arabic سَلَّى (sallā, to amuse, entertain, comfort). See the doublet salla for more.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈsɛl.la/

Verb

sella (imperfect jselli, verbal noun tislija)

  1. (intransitive, + għal) to greet
    Synonym: sellem
