yaff \yaf\ verb 1. Scot. and North England. to bark; yelp. Quotes Probably it was a dog belonging to the natives, though native dogs near stations will yaff as they pursue their game, as I have heard them, but this is rare. -- William Howitt, The History of Discovery in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand, 1865 Origin Yaff may be a dialectal blend of waff meaning "bark" with yap or yawp. It entered English in the early 1600s.
