جعفر

An augmentation of the root ج ع ف (j ʕ f) meaning a to pull or uproot, to wash away, to overturn or rip from foundations, a torrent that carries things away; possibly blended with the root ج ف ر (j f r) denoting to be swollen, to be filled up, hence a full or flooded riverbed. The first root is potentially a dialect variant of the root ج ف ء (j f ʔ) also denoting the washing away of objects from a valley full of water, to sweep off or carry away, to pull or uproot.
