Is-sinjal għal XI jew XIEX isir b’id waħda li tieħu l-forma ta’ 1 bil-pala tħares ’il barra. Il-werrej iferfer ftit waqt li x-xufftejn jieħdu l-forma tonda bħal meta wieħed jifforma l-ħoss tal-ittra ‘x’, /ʃ/. Is-sinjal jixbaħ dak għal LE imma dan jinkludi r-ras tiċċaqlaq ftit lejn naħa u n-naħa l-oħra.

The sign for WHAT is made with one hand that takes the shape of 1 with the palm facing outwards. The index finger wags from side to side whilst the lips are rounded as when one makes the sound for ‘sh’, /ʃ/ (the sound of the letter ‘x’ in Maltese orthography).
