dghaisa

• Their boats are very graceful in shape; they are called "daisas," which is spelt "dghaisa," but I never could see the use of the letters "gh" in the word; it sounds all right without them. —  Young Knights of the Empire : Their Code, and Further Scout Yarns
• After the South African War the people of Malta very kindly sent me a beautiful present, and, I suppose on account of my known love of boating, it took the form of a silver model of a sailing dghaisa. —  Young Knights of the Empire : Their Code, and Further Scout Yarns
