Noun

IPA: /ˈtaː.ma/ Forms: tamiet [plural]
Etymology: From Arabic طَمَع (ṭamaʕ, “greed, wish”). The loss of the final għ is regular in this noun, but was generalised throughout the root (and is therefore reflected in the spelling). Compare, however, tema’. Etymology templates: {{inh|mt|ar|طَمَع|t=greed, wish}} Arabic طَمَع (ṭamaʕ, “greed, wish”) Head templates: {{mt-noun|g=f|p=tamiet}} tama f (plural tamiet)
