Orël, Stol'bova:
2481 *t.u(m)f- "fill, be full"
Sem *t.Vp- "be full": Akk tapa:pu.
WCh *t.umf- "fill up": Hs tumfaye.
Secondary nasal infix?

Interesting.
So Tchadic has -n- infix
Cf. -n- in Latin present forms
I suggest s-tuf(fing) as cognate
for this root *tup- "to fill up"
Semitic t. may be caused by
the fact the vowel is u.
A beautiful
PAA *u = PIE *u
example
