Philology friends,"Safi" (clear) in Farsi/Hindi/Urdu are said to come from Arabic صاف, but modern Greek is also Σαφή & said to come from Ancient Greek σᾰφές.

Given that they have the exact same modern meaning & nothing equiv. in Akkadian, I wonder. nitter.moomoo.me/i/web/status/164… (https://nitter.moomoo.me/i/web/status/1648003534686928899)
