Didn't know how to correctly write a question in Title, but I will try to explain what I am trying to achieve.

These are my parent tables:

 hgs_meaning hgs_word_types hgs_transliterations
 +----+---------+ +----+-----------+ +----+-----------------+
 | id | meaning | | id | word_type | | id | transliteration |
 +----+---------+ +----+-----------+ +----+-----------------+
 | 3 | man | | 4 | noun | | 5 | mnjw |
 +----+---------+ +----+-----------+ +----+-----------------+

These are my junctional tables:

 junc_meaning_word_type
 +----+------------+--------------+
 | id | meaning_id | word_type_id |
 +----+------------+--------------+
 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
 +----+------------+--------------+

 junc_transliteration_meaning_word_type
 +----+--------------------+----------------------+
 | id | transliteration_id | meaning_word_type_id |
 +----+--------------------+----------------------+
 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
 +----+--------------------+----------------------+

I know how to make SELECT JOIN query to get results for junc_meaning_word_type table but not for junc_transliteration_meaning_word_type

I know how to get this result:

 +----+-----------------+-------------------+
 | id | transliteration | meaning_word_type |
 +----+-----------------+-------------------+
 | 1 | mnjw | 2 |
 +----+-----------------+-------------------+

I am trying to achieve this result:

 +----+--------------------+------------+--------------+
 | id | transliteration_id | meaning_id | word_type_id |
 +----+--------------------+------------+--------------+
 | 1 | mnjw | man | noun |
 +----+--------------------+------------+--------------+

How this can be done. I am guessing that I need to use nested SELECT queries (subqueries) or multiple JOINs, but I don't know how to construct such a query.

Here are my queries:

/* hgs_meanings and hgs_word_types join to junc_meaning_word_type */

SELECT junc_meaning_word_type.id, hgs_word_types.word_type, hgs_meanings.meaning
FROM junc_meaning_word_type
JOIN hgs_word_types ON junc_meaning_word_type.word_type_id = hgs_word_types.id
JOIN hgs_meanings ON junc_meaning_word_type.meaning_id = hgs_meanings.id 

/* hgs_transliterations and junc_meaning_word_type join to junc_transliteration_meaning */

SELECT junc_transliteration_meaning.id, hgs_transliterations.transliteration, junc_meaning_word_type.id
FROM junc_transliteration_meaning
JOIN hgs_transliterations ON junc_transliteration_meaning.transliteration_id = hgs_transliterations.id
JOIN junc_meaning_word_type ON junc_transliteration_meaning.meaning_word_type_id = junc_meaning_word_type.id

Any help would be appreciated.

You can simply JOIN all the tables together with their appropriate Join relationships, and then SELECT the specific columns/expressions you require. You can also Alias the columns/expressions specified in the SELECT clause, to show a different name for them.

Again, it is advisable to use Aliasing on table name(s), in case of multi-table queries, for code clarity (readability) and avoiding ambiguous behaviour.

SELECT junctrans.id, 
 trans.transliteration AS transliteration_id, 
 mean.meaning AS meaning_id, 
 typ.word_type AS word_type_id 
FROM 
 junc_transliteration_meaning_word_type AS junctrans
JOIN junc_meaning_word_type AS juncmean 
 ON juncmean.id = junctrans.meaning_word_type_id 
JOIN hgs_transliterations AS trans
 ON trans.id = junctrans.transliteration_id 
JOIN hgs_meaning AS mean 
 ON mean.id = juncmean.meaning_id 
JOIN hgs_word_types AS typ 
 ON typ.id = juncmean.word_type_id
