[Fictionary] There is a Winner!

[Ziv Stern]

Oh man! I was about to guess the right answer, but I thought a muslim
theological word would *have* to be from Classical Arabic, which (I think)
doesn't have an [o]. I need to learn more about Islam, apparently...
For the Jews among you, I hope you'll be amused to know my definition was
inspired by the word "savta" ("grandmother").

For the next round, does anyone know the word INTING? This is an ~internet
word~, whose definition I would be getting from Urban Dictionary. Let me
know by Friday, the 31st.
