I have an idea where he should stick his ‘yardstick’.

It is not xi beer ras, the origin is xib ir-ras. Semitic for the light on the headland.

Hence ‘mount scibberas’ where Valletta is sited.

The harbours flanking the headland that is now Valletta have been in use for thousands of years and the scibberas heights would have been the natural location for a guiding light for mariners.
