"Afer" meaning in Latin

See Afer in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈaː.fer/ [Classical], [ˈäːfɛr] [Classical], /ˈa.fer/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈäːfer] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: The term is derived from a Punic or a Berber term for the country in which the city of Carthage was located. It is possibly derived from an ethnonym, a name of an indigenous tribe encountered by the Phoenician colonists, or perhaps related to Punic 𐤏𐤐𐤓 (ʿpr /⁠ʿafar⁠/, “dust”) akin to Biblical Hebrew עָפָר (ʿāp̄ār, “dust”), or alternatively from a Berber language ⵉⴼⵔⵉ (ifri, “cave”), denoting cave dwellers. Flavius Josephus derived the ethnonym from the name of Abraham's grandson, Epher. The name is perhaps related to the tribal name Ifran recorded by medieval Arab authors.

Flavius Josephus derived the ethnonym from the name of Abraham's grandson, Epher. The name is perhaps related to the tribal name Ifran recorded by medieval Arab authors.",

It is possibly derived from an ethnonym, a name of an indigenous tribe encountered by the Phoenician colonists, or perhaps related to Punic 𐤏𐤐𐤓 (ʿpr /⁠ʿafar⁠/, “dust”) akin to Biblical Hebrew עָפָר (ʿāp̄ār, “dust”), or alternatively from a Berber language ⵉⴼⵔⵉ (ifri, “cave”), denoting cave dwellers. Flavius Josephus derived the ethnonym from the name of Abraham's grandson, Epher. The name is perhaps related to the tribal name Ifran recorded by medieval Arab authors.",
