About
Eragrostis tef, teff, Williams lovegrass, annual bunch grass, taf (Tigrinya: ጣፍ? ṭaff; Amharic: ጤፍ? ṭēff) and xaafii (Oromo)), is an annual grass, a species of lovegrass native to the northern Ethiopian Highlands and Eritrean Highlands of the Horn of Africa. The word "tef" is connected by folk etymology to the Ethio-Semitic root "\tff\", which means "lost" (because of the small size of the grain).
