Noun

IPA: /ˈ(ʔ)afɨnt͡ʃʼa/ Audio: LL-Q28244 (amh)-Woubster-አፍንጫ.wav
Etymology: Unknown. Kogan rejects Appleyard's suggestion of a connection to Proto-Semitic *ʔanp-, in part because of evidence that the initial consonant was originally /w/, but mentions a phonologically problematic suggestion from Bulakh that connects the term with ተናፈጠ (tänaffäṭä, “blow one's nose”).
