"laqat" meaning in Maltese

See laqat in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈla.ʔat/
Etymology: Apparently from Arabic لَقَطَ (laqaṭa, “to pick up”). A development “pick up” → “grab” → “hit” might be conceivable, but probably influenced by such roots as لَكَأَ (lakaʔa), لَكَثَ (lakaṯa), لَكِدَ (lakida), لَكَزَ (lakaza), all meaning “to hit”. Compare also Yemeni Arabic لكد (lakad) in this sense.
