Description:

Hawfil is usually used as a noun and refer to either an animal's fur, or an animal's skinned hide with the fur attached. It can also refer to an article made from such a hude, such as a fur coat.

To refer to a single hair in a fur, the word for a human hair, mury, is used. So one would say:

Ny mury na hawfil
A hair of the fur

This uses the periphrastic construction to refer to a portion of a mass noun using 'y'.

Hawfil is generally not used to refer to humans. It might be used metaphorically to refer to a very hairy man, to say his body hair resembles fur, but this is not a completely polite usage. If a human is skinned or scalped, this is genernally not the word that would be chosen.
