"Sherrie" and "Lynne" do not exist in "my" languages, so I'll just translate the two other words.

salty = солёный
dog = собака

Finnish:

Don't think they exist in my languages either...

Romanian:
salty = sărat
dog = câine

Hebrew:
salty = מלוח [malúh' / maluáh'] - I'm not very sure of the pronunciation... Gilen might confirm one of the variants...
dog = כלב [kélev]

Brazilian Portuguese:
salty = salgado
dog = cachorro / cão

Modern Greek:
salty = αλμυρός [almirós]
dog = σκύλος [skílos]

Norwegian & Danish: - (just like in Swedeish)
salty = salt
dog = hund

[Nephilim]

Salty

CZ & SK = slaný

Dog

CZ & SK = pes

Sherrie & Lynne don't have any equivalent in czech and slovak. therefore you'd use them as they are.

dog = כלב [kélev]

For Salty, it is מָלוּחַ (malua'h)
For Dog, I confirm כֶּלֶב (kelev)

[Cãlin]

For Salty, it is מָלוּחַ (malua'h)
For Dog, I confirm כֶּלֶב (kelev)

I thought that there might have been a patah' under the h'et, but I wasn't sure. I came across this word just once and it was spelled undotted.

French:
Salty = salé fem. salée
Dog = chien fem. chienne

Italian:
Salty = salato fem. salata
Dog = cane fem. cagna

I thought that there might have been a patah' under the h'et, but I wasn't sure. I came across this word just once and it was spelled undotted.

In this case, the H'et is preceded by a long vowel (shuruq). So the Waw does not have a consonnant function.
The problem is that gutturals are not easily pronounced at the end of a word, so it appears a short vowel under the guttural which is called furtive pata'h (it disappears when the guttural is not the final letter anymore).
NB: this rule is true only if the guttural is preceded by a long vowel other than qamats.

Thank you for the explantion, Gilen!
I understand that you are talking about the phenomenon which occurrs in:
רוּחַ -> רוּחוֹת ruah' -> ruh'ot
שָׁבוּעַ -> שָׁבוּעוֹת shavua" -> shavu"ot

Right?

[Gilen]

Exactly !

[Cãlin]

Thanks again!

I think this would be an appropriate moment to end this conversation, before some moderator gets annoyed and shuts us up!

Amazing resemblance with Hebrew!!! I suppose that Maltese has taken these words from Arab. It would be interesting to know these words in Arab as well...
