In popular Sahlab it is simply _faed_ [fE:t], the stem of the verb "to thank".
The honorific form is somewhat more complicated:
_djawal faedadj isjtabarg barnost_
we.INCL-ERG thank-GERUND lady-DAT give-PRES
[dZa"wa:l fE"da:dZ ISta"barg bar"nO:st]
As can be seen people at court have more time to waste! :-)
