There is evidence that the underlying mt għ had already been vocalised in this ending before the same happened as a general development in Maltese (hence also the lack of it in the spelling). We find the same vocalisation in some modern Arabic dialects; compare arz حداشر eleven ḥidāšar. Pronunciation mt /aːʃ/ Sometimes shortened to /aʃ/, but still stressed. Suffix suffix Used to form the pronominal forms of the cardinal numbers from 11 to 19; -teen. mt tnejn two tnax twelve mt sebat seven attributive sbatax seventeen Usage notes With numbers from 13 to 19, the form is derived from the long attributive form in mt -t of the underlying simple number. Slight vocalic changes may occur (as the loss of the e in mt sbatax above). Attributively, that is before a noun, numbers in mt -ax add the additional ending mt -il. See that lemma.
