| Comment | Borrowed into Ethio-Semitic languages: ex., Tgr. ˀafṭärä 'to break a fast' (WTS 676), Har. fäṭärä 'to break a fast' (EDH 66). The second example, in particular, shows the shift 'to break a fast' -> 'to breakfast', i.e. breakfast is the meal eaten after days of fasting in Judaism, Islam, and other religions.
