"ħwar" meaning in Maltese

See ħwar in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ħwaːr/ Forms: ħwawar [plural]
Rhymes: -aːr Etymology: Probably from Arabic حَرارَات (ḥarārāt). The same dissimilation is apparently attested in regional Tunisian Arabic حوارات (ḥwārāt). The Maltese singular thence by backformation. The contemporary plural ħwawar appears to be secondary as it irregularly contains a long vowel followed by a semivowel.
