"kollu" meaning in Maltese

See kollu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Pronoun

IPA: /ˈkɔl.lu/ Forms: kollha [feminine], kollha [plural], kollhom [plural, rare]
Etymology: From Arabic كُلُّهُ (kulluhu, “all of it”). By surface analysis, kull + -u. The reason for the vowel change is that Arabic short -u- was predominantly shifted to -o-, but remained in closed syllables before the tone.
