Etymology edit
From Malay nafas, napas, from Classical Malay نفس (nafas), نفس (napas), from Arabic نَفَس (nafas, “breath”). The phoneme -f- was changed to -p- to suit phonological inventories of local languages which lack -f-. In fact, both forms napas and nafas in practice are often acceptable due to influence of the Arabic word.
