halilaya

Etymology edit

Borrowed from Malay hari raya (“holiday; festival; Eid”). In Vocabulario de la lengua tagala, it was defined as "a particular fast", but Potet (2013) thinks that it refers not to a fast, but Eid al-Fitr which ends the Ramadan fast. Doublet of Hariraya Puasa.

Hyphenation: ha‧li‧la‧ya

Noun edit
