"ziju" meaning in Maltese

See ziju in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈt͡siː.ju/
Etymology: Borrowed from Sicilian ziu, from Latin thius, from Ancient Greek θεῖος (theîos). Displaced the native Arabic terms għamm (“paternal uncle”) and ħal (“maternal uncle”), in part probably because this distinction is less relevant in the European family system.
