geddum in All languages combined

IPA: /ɡɛdˈduːm/ Forms: gdiedem [plural] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Uncertain, but probably from Arabic. There are several comparable roots, two or more of which may also have been merged. * Based on the meanings “chin, snout” compare: 1.) Arabic قَيْدُوم (qaydūm, “bow of a ship”), قُدّام (quddām, “front part”), from which latter Maltese quddiem; 2.) Berber (Tarifit) udem (“face”). * Based on the meaning “lower jaw” compare: 1.) Maltese gidem (“to bite”), from Arabic كَدَمَ (kadama); 2.) Arabic قَدُّوم (qaddūm, “adze”); 3.) Arabic جُذُوم (juḏūm), plural of جِذْم (jiḏm, “root, foundation, lower part”, and in one old source “gum, place where a tooth grows”). Phonetically, it should be noted that Maltese /ɡ/ is rare and tends to derive either from Berber or irregularly from Arabic ك (k) or ج (j), almost never from ق (q).
