/fiː/

Etymology

Possibly related to Proto-Semitic *pay- (“mouth, an orifice, an entrance, a means in or to enter”), cognates with Hebrew פֹּה (“here”) and פִּי (“multiplied, -fold”, literally “with, to have this length with this width”) and Ugaritic 𐎔 (p, “here, in this place or in this time; in the manner of, relating or pertaining to”), and Proto-Semitic *piʔat- (“side; border; front, facing part of anything”), i. e. the same word as فِئَة (fiʔa, “troop”), since this word is retained in Ge'ez only in the combination ለፌ (läfe, “in the direction of or from, thence or thither”). It has also functions originally borne by Proto-Semitic *bV-, potentially perceived or originating as a devoiced form of it.
