"iżda" meaning in Maltese

See iżda in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

IPA: /ˈɪz.da/
Etymology: Uncertain. Perhaps from Arabic أَصْدَق (ʔaṣdaq, “more truthfully”, in the sense of “rather, more properly”). As the emphatic -ṣ- could have been assimilated to the -d- and/or dissimilated against the -q-, the form is entirely regular but for the loss of the final consonant. This loss in turn seems plausible in such a frequently used word (and perhaps also by analogy with the synonymous imma). Etymology templates: {{unc|mt}} Uncertain, {{inh|mt|ar|أَصْدَق|t=more truthfully”, in the sense of “rather, more properly}} Arabic أَصْدَق (ʔaṣdaq, “more truthfully”, in the sense of “rather, more properly”) Head templates: {{head|mt|conjunction}} iżda
