Borg, Alexander (2004 ) A Comparative Glossary of Cypriot Maronite Arabic (Arabic–English) (Handbook of Oriental Studies; I.70 ), Leiden and Boston: Brill, page 186
jiri
( nominal ) spine , thorn
iri ( eye dialect, non-standard )
ghiri , gghiri ( eye dialect, non-standard, only when geminated )
gniri ( eye dialect, non-standard, palatalization just before n )
The infinitive and forms beginning with j- derive from Latin īre , while the forms beginning with v- derive from corresponding forms of vādere .
In some not homogeneous areas in Sicily, inside or nearby Gallo-Italic enclaves, the forms made upon īre are made instead on annari , from Early Medieval Latin andāre , of disputed origin.
For the reflexive sense, compare Spanish irse and Italian andarsene .
