Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Arabic لَمَعَ (lamaʕa). The original inflection with a final għ is now less common (see above). Otherwise the root was reanalysed as ending in a semivowel. For this case, moreover, there exist two conjugations (one with -a- in all forms and one of the type of beda).
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]lema (imperfect jilma)
- to glitter, glint, glimmer
- 1949, Anton Buttigieg, “Fuq Qabar Oħti”, in Fanali bil-Lejl:
- U waqt li nħares fuq ta’ qalbi x-xitla
tat-tifkiriet tinbet tifkira ġdida,
b’warda ta’ swied il-qalb fejn tilma demgħa
minn ħbub għajnejja.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
