feri (plural feri-feri, informal first-person possessive feriku, second-person possessive ferimu, third-person possessive ferinya)

1. ferry

feri

1. first-person singular preterite of ferir

Probably from Latin ferīre, present active infinitive of feriō (“strike”), of Proto-Indo-European origin. Other less likely explanations include a Vulgar Latin *auferīre, from an alteration of auferre (as with suferi < suffere). Compare Aromanian afirescu, afiriri. Some have tried to connect it, at least in the archaic or regional sense of "to celebrate a holiday", with a Vulgar Latin *fērīre, from fēriae.[1]
