"lema" meaning in Maltese

See lema in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈlɛ.ma/
Etymology: From Arabic لَمَعَ (lamaʕa). The original inflection with a final għ is now less common (see above). Otherwise the root was reanalysed as ending in a semivowel. For this case, moreover, there exist two conjugations (one with -a- in all forms and one of the type of beda).
