gaberlunzie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaberlunzie
"Beggar"
Feckit: http://wiki.hmssurprise.org/index.php/Lexicon:Brawly_feckit
"Done, made, formed"
So the approximate translation is, "You awkward, ill-(done, made, formed) beggar." There is also a consonance of meaning (and probably an intentional, almost punny one) between thrawn understood as "badly made" rather than "awkward," and ill-feckit.
