Achyfi

[Douglas G. Wilson]

Anybody recognize the word 'achyfi'?

This turns up as an 'English' word in one Japanese/English dictionary,
where it seems to mean something like "Yuck!" or "Disgusting!" or "Annoying!"

A Web search returns two hits for 'achyfi'. In one it is given as a Welsh
word meaning 'repulsive' -- but this is found in a very dubious or
unreliable context (a quotation from a German article about the
relationship between the Welsh and Mandan languages). The other hit is as
an unexplained entry in a huge word list.

I can't find it in any English (or Welsh) dictionary immediately available
to me.
