ghafi

== Swahili == === Etymology === Plausibly from Arabic جافِي (jāfī, “harsh, rough, coarse”, chiefly of behaviour, but also of things). This is pronounced /ˈɡaːfi/ in most of Omani and parts of Yemeni Arabic. The Swahili gh would have to be a hyperforeignism. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɣɑ.fi/, /ˈɡɑ.fi/ === Adjective === ghafi (invariable) valueless, inferior raw, unprocessed ==== Derived terms ==== mafuta ghafi (“crude oil”) malighafi (“raw material”)
