Hebrew and Arabic dont use vowels but marks to indicate vowel sounds KFR KIFR KUFR KOFAR are all related and mean in Hebrew and Arabic unbelief ro disbelieve or to cover/hide a truth. If you google Kifr you will find it is the symbol of the harshest of Israeli military units in regards to dealing with palestinians, this word is also shown alongside a single eye, which symbolizes the one eyed Dajjal or anti-christ. I have a copy of Yusuf Ali quran and the official Saudi arabian state translated versions with english translation, there is very little difference in the translations with the exception of more modern english words used in Yusuf Ali. They both offer commentary as to the meanings of specific words and those of Yusuf Ali are better explanations as his english skills were probably better
