Maltese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Going by the spelling, from an underlying Arabic *عَمّاق (*ʕammāq), which would seem to be an intensive form of عَمِيق (ʕamīq, “deep”). However, given the vocalic mergers involving għ and q in Maltese, the root would have been liable to irregular developments. Compare għamieq (“depth”) for more.
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]
għammieq (feminine singular għammieqa, plural għammieqa)
