On the pronunciation of the German word «Gefahr» - a danger, is closer (nearer) to the Arabic word قف (qafe) – stop, whoa.
The Arabic word, as well as German, are related Nogai word «кавыфлык» (kavyflyk) - the danger. In addition Uzbek «хавф» (havf) – a fear, a danger; Tatar «хәвеф» (hәuef) – a fear, a danger.
