IPA: /qa.fiːr/ [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Probably from Old South Arabian, compare Ge'ez ከፈር (käfär, “basket, canister; peck, modius”), Tigrinya ከፈር (käfär, “big basket”), Amharic ቀፎ (ḳäfo, “beehive”), Sabaean 𐩫𐩰𐩧 (kfr, “sluice; covered cistern”). Compare Hebrew כְּפוֹר (kəp̄ōr, “jar, bowl”), Classical Syriac ܟܳܦܱܪܬ݂ܳܐ (kāp̄artā, “a type of palm basket”), Classical Syriac ܟܪܴܦܬܴ݁ܐ (krāp̄tā, “household appliances”), Akkadian 𒅗𒀊𒀸 (ka-ap-rum /⁠kapru⁠/, “a type of sacrifice; the cup, platter, or table for it”), 𒅗𒅈𒁍 (ka-ar-pu /⁠karpu⁠/, “pot, jar, earthen vessel, especially of a fragile kind”), 𒂁 (DUG /⁠karpatu⁠/, “jar, vessel of a fragile kind”). It may be related to the meanings of covering discussed at كفر (k-f-r), less likely it is extended from a term equaling Akkadian 𒆏𒁍 (/⁠kappu⁠/, “from Proto-Semitic *kapp- (“hand”), cupped hands; a bowl, a small serving container”) or قُفَّة (quffa, “large wicker-baskeŧ”); see else قَفِيز (qafīz) for a picture of the frequency of container names with guttural onset leading over an open vowel to a labial plosive or fricative.

It may be related to the meanings of covering discussed at كفر (k-f-r), less likely it is extended from a term equaling Akkadian 𒆏𒁍 (/⁠kappu⁠/, “from Proto-Semitic *kapp- (“hand”), cupped hands; a bowl, a small serving container”) or قُفَّة (quffa, “large wicker-baskeŧ”); see else قَفِيز (qafīz) for a picture of the frequency of container names with guttural onset leading over an open vowel to a labial plosive or fricative.",
