mgħarfa
Maltese
Etymology
From Arabic مِغْرَفة (miḡrafa, “scoop, ladle”). A more etymological spelling would be magħrfa, which is sometimes seen, but is probably a mere misspelling (as often found with għ). The form mgħarfa may have been standardised for uniformity with the plural mgħaref, which can only be spelt this way.
