"għammieq" meaning in Maltese

Adjective

IPA: /amˈmɪːʔ/, /aˤːmˈmɪːʔ/ [archaic] Forms: għammieqa [feminine, singular], għammieqa [plural]
Etymology: Going by the spelling, from an underlying Arabic *عَمّاق (*ʕammāq), which would seem to be an intensive form of عَمِيق (ʕamīq, “deep”). However, given the vocalic mergers involving għ and q in Maltese, the root would have been liable to irregular developments. Compare għamieq (“depth”) for more.
