Etymology[edit]
It was noted to editors, in the etymological dictionary that has been excised from Wikipedia, that this word is not of Tamil origin. Uncle G 11:27, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Pronunciation[edit]
It isn't pronounced like that everywhere. "Eit" is not the common pronunciation for the Northern Irish Dialect, it's more like the diphthong in mate ("i(as in meet)-i(as in it)t basically.
Some Britsh dialects also use "ait" instead. 82.17.241.68 13:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
