disat m or f

1. long attributive form of disgħa (“nine”)

   Coordinate term: (short attributive form) disa'

• The attributive forms are used before counted nouns. The long form is used with broken plurals that begin with a consonant cluster. To the noun i- is then prefixed: tfal (“children”) → disat itfal (“nine children”). Irregularly this also happens with jiem: disat ijiem (“nine days”).
• The use of the long form in the above contexts is predominantly observed, but for the most part is not entirely obligatory, meaning that disa' tfal may also be heard.
