Maltese
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Arabic قَلْب (qalb). The feminine gender in Maltese is unusual since the Arabic etymon is masculine, its form is that of a masculine, and even the Romance equivalents (Sicilian cori, Italian cuore) are masculine. One might suspect influence by the semantically related ras (“head”) and ruħ (“soul”), which are feminine; but this is mere conjecture.
Noun
