"għagħa" meaning in Maltese

See għagħa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈaː/, /ˈaˤː/ [archaic], /ˈɣaː.ɣa/ (note: archaic, rustic)
Etymology: From Arabic غَاغَة (ḡāḡa, “mob, crowd”). The word is an extreme example of how the loss/vowelisation of għ has weakened the phonetic shapes of many words in Maltese. One might think that għagħa would subsequently have come out of use, but it remains common.
