ساف
See also: سأف
Arabic
Etymology
From سَوْفَ (sawfa, future tense marker).
According to Dictionnaire du faisceau dialectal arabe andalou the bird-name from an Egyptian compound term the second part of which is found in Coptic ϣⲁϥ (šaf, “desert, wasteland”); the bird-spotter’s observations motivating him to name the animal by the future marker, or secondarily by the terms derived from it, are left to speculation.
