Maltese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Arabic طاقة (ṭāqa, “window”), from طاق (ṭāq, “arch, doorway”), from Middle Persian tʾg (tāg, “arch”). The form tieqa instead of *taqa probably goes back to a variant *تاقة (*tāqa), in which the initial had been dissimilated against the q; compare dejjaq and others. Compare also Moroccan Arabic تاقة (tāqa) alongside طاقة (ṭāqa).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
tieqa f (plural twieqi or (obsolete) tiqan, diminutive twejqa)
