Sicilian chiefly uses the Arabic borrowing zotta, itself cognate with native Maltese sawt. On the other hand, the Maltese -o- would seem to imply a fairly early borrowing before the phonemicisation of [ʊ]. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfrɔs.ta/ Rhymes: -ɔsta === Noun === frosta f (plural frosti) whip Synonym: sawt
