proper noun
- 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).
