Maltese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Arabic إِخْوَة (ʔiḵwa, “brothers”). The use also for “sisters” from generic use of the masculine, perhaps reinforced formally by the construct form ħut, which would have been close to *ħwiet, the expected outcome of Arabic أَخَوات (ʔaḵawāt).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
aħwa (construct form ħut)
