kafeye
Kafeye is a term that appears in various linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts but does not have a single, universally accepted definition. The meaning of kafeye tends to vary by language, discipline, and region, leading to a polysemous usage in some sources. In scholarly writing, kafeye has been used as a placeholder or umbrella term to discuss certain types of social practice, ritual, or symbolic action, without committing to a specific interpretation.
