Verb [Maltese]

IPA: /ˈdak.kar/ Forms: jdakkar [imperfect], mdakkar [participle, past], tidkir [noun-from-verb], dakkir [noun-from-verb]
Rhymes: -akkar Etymology: From Arabic ذَكَّرَ (ḏakkara, “to pollinate artificially”), derived from ذَكَر (ḏakar, “male”). The sense “influence” may be merely a figurative use of the former; compare for example English fertilize, German befruchten. However, it might also continue the sense “remind, admonish” of the Arabic verb.
