I shall pound my head for overlooking afar!  I mustn't have it on the
lexicon webpages.  I thought you might have been using gafar, it didn't
look like afer to me.

Probably I would suggest afant for lover, I think some continental
languages have amanto, the -n ending as a nominal agent seems unusual for
me, -nt more normal.  There is also afur for love, Iewan would also add
afor which happens between animals.
