"μάλθα" meaning in All languages combined

See μάλθα on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /mál.tʰa/, /ˈmal.θa/, /ˈmal.θa/, /mál.tʰa/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmal.tʰa/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmal.θa/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmal.θa/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmal.θa/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally connected with μαλθακός (malthakós, “soft”) and derived from Proto-Indo-European *ml̥dʰ- (“soft”). Beekes separates from μαλθακός (malthakós) and argues for a Pre-Greek technical loanword; note that *ml̥dʰ- would yield *βλαθ- (*blath-). Compare Arabic مِلَاط (milāṭ) and the other Semitic words mentioned there, as well as Middle Armenian մաղթ (maġtʻ).
