"xbieha" meaning in Maltese

See xbieha in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈʒbɪː.ja/ Forms: xbihat [plural]
Etymology: Either derived directly from Arabic شَبِيه (šabīh, “similar”), or more probably with the measure of an abstract noun شَباهة (šabāha, “likeness, similarity”), which is uncommon in Arabic itself, but could easily be formed by analogy with such pairs as نَظِيف (naẓīf) ↔ نَظافة (naẓāfa).
