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”).
