Description:

The term 'caf' pertains to seats and sitting.

Verb:

As a verb, 'caf' is a noxaj verb of motion, with an absolutive sitter and a dative thing sat in. It is very frequently used in a disintentive pali form with the dative seat removed where it just means to sit down or be seated. The causative hapat or skurun forms mean to seat someone and rather than meaning to literally force someone to sit, the ergative causer just facilitates the process, usually.

Noun:

As a noun, 'caf' refers to any kind of seat, be it a chair, couch, bench or even just a convenient rock. The term 'cafkija' is also used for the same meaning, sometimes to disambiguate from the other meanings of 'caf'. 'Caf' also refers to the idea of charing a meeting or committee, and a 'caf' can be a kind of leader or office holder, or the office itself. As such, it is often seen in the context of leadership and governance.

Another sense of 'caf' is that it can be a word for capital, as in capital city in the set phrase 'na caf ifór' or just on its own, especially for a smaller settlement serving as the seat for a region.

'Caf' can also be used as a polite word for a sit-down style of toilet.
