I doubt about a reduction "ps" to "f" in recenter times. "recent"
here means after Latin time line. For this, we have as testimony the
"ps" cluster in Latin.

The mention made about the word being Arabic and loaned in both
languages via Turkish, there are some things to ask about but for
first I will ask just two of them:

1)which is the pronounciation of Arabic "q" in "qafa_"
2)is the word known in turkish?
