editEtymology 1
editFrom Old Norse sef, possibly borrowed from Old Irish simin, sibin(n), from Proto-Indo-European *sem-ino?.[1] Otherwise from Proto-Germanic *seba-, which would suggest an irregular, non-Indo-European substrate root alternation *seb-, *sem-, similar to sandr. According to Pokorny, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *seyb- (“to pour, leak, trickle”).[2]
Noun
editsef n (genitive singular sefs, no plural)
