Translation of "wipe" into Swahili

In Hebrew, the word ka·pharʹ at first probably meant “cover” or perhaps “wipe off,” and it is also translated “atonement.”

Katika Kiebrania, yaelekea neno ka·pharʹ mwanzoni lilimaanisha “-funika” au labda “-futa,” nalo pia hutafsiriwa “kufunika.”

The expression ‘get blotted out’ comes from a Greek verb (e·xa·leiʹpho) that means “wipe out, erase.”

Neno ‘zifutwe’ latokana na kitenzi cha Kigiriki (e·xa·leiʹpho) kinachomaanisha “pangusa, futia mbali.”
