"rkoppa" meaning in Maltese

See rkoppa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /(ɪ)rˈkɔp.pa/
Etymology: From Arabic رُكْبَة (rukba). The modern Maltese form with metathesis, gemination and devoicing is a backformation from the plural (or original dual). From the expected *rokba, it would yield *rukbtejn, where the triple consonant cluster was simplified to *rkubtejn. Compare the same in mnifsejn (instead of *minfsejn), plural of minfes (“nostril”).
