Pronunciat com a (IPA)

/fat.waː/

From Classical Syriac ܦܬܘܐ (peṯwā, “spinning out, breadth (of words)”), with some details in the sectarian semantics of Late Antiquity Aramaic crossed with Arabic, that led to the present specification, now being obscure. أَفْتَى (ʔaftā, “to deliver a formal opinion”) was parallelly borrowed.
