nixxa in Maltese

IPA: /ˈnɪʃ.ʃa/ [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Probably denominal from nixa (“leak water, leakage”), from Arabic نَشَع (našaʕ). This would explain the absence of the pharyngeal in the root, since word-final għ became weak early on. Alternatively intensive of the verb نَشَعَ (našaʕa).
