Alternative forms
- xebaħ (unofficial, but common)
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈʃɛbaħ/
Conjugation
- The sound /ħ/ is kept in all conjugated forms. The spelling is h instead of ħ because this fortition has not been generalised throughout the root (compare xbieha /ˈʒbɪːja/).
- The perfect tense is highly archaic and not part of contemporary standard Maltese. It is replaced with kien + imperfect.
