Aidilfitri

Pronunciation: /ˌʕajdilˈfitri/

“Aidilfitri” is a Malay word. Its meaning in English:

proper noun

  1. Eid al-Fitr

Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic عِيد الْفِطْر (ʕīd al-fiṭr). The initial [a] may have arisen through the reinterpretation of the Arabic pharyngeal consonant [ʕ], often realized as the approximant [ʕ̞], as a pharyngeal approximant–vowel sequence [ʕɑ] (compare ra'ayat and ma'alum, dated forms of rakyat and maklum).
