għammieq

== Maltese == === Etymology === Going by the spelling, from an underlying Arabic *عَمّاق (*ʕammāq), which would seem to be an intensive form of عَمِيق (ʕamīq, “deep”). However, given the vocalic mergers involving għ and q in Maltese, the root would have been liable to irregular developments. Compare għamieq (“depth”) for more. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /amˈmɪːʔ/ IPA(key): /aˤːmˈmɪːʔ/ (archaic) Rhymes: -ɪːʔ === Adjective === għammieq (feminine singular għammieqa, plural għammieqa) (literary) deep ==== Synonyms ==== fond (the most usual word) profond ==== Related terms ====
