Maltese
Etymology
From Arabic ه ن ء (h-n-ʔ).
The outcome of root-initial ه (h) in modern Maltese is irregular; it was either vowelised or merged into /ħ/. Generally one or the other happened throughout a given root, but in the case of h-n-j the irregularity continues even within the root. It is spelt with h because of the rule that ħ can never be silent.
Root
h-n-j
- Related to happiness.
