Etymology[edit]
From Arabic عُلَّيْق (ʕullayq). Accordingly the more etymological spelling would seem to be (nonstandard) għolliq. The vowel phonemes /iː/ and /ɪː/ are merged before [ħ] and [ʔ].
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
għollieq m (collective, singulative għollieqa, paucal għolliqat or għolliqiet)
