Adjective

IPA: /ˈħɪː.nɪ/ Forms: hienja [feminine, singular], henjin [plural], hienja [plural]
Etymology: From Arabic هانِئ (hāniʔ, “happy”). The spelling with h instead of ħ is due to the fact that the Maltese root shows a mixed treatment of the onset. While hieni is pronounced with /ħ/, the noun hena is /ˈɛːna/, and the verbs henna, thenna allow both ways.
