"lagħab" meaning in All languages combined

See lagħab on Wiktionary

Noun [Maltese]

IPA: /laːp/, /laˤːp/ [archaic] Forms: lagħaba [plural], lagħaba [feminine]
Etymology: From Arabic لَعّاب (laʕʕāb). Originally the noun was pronounced /laʕˈʕaːp/, while the verb was /ˈla.ʕap/. Both merged in the 19th century when għ was vowelised. The spelling lagħgħab, which is sometimes seen, is incorrect because għ can never be geminated in Maltese.
