LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionnaire lists « mif » as an invariable feminine noun meaning the family or close entourage, the same as « mifa » and « famille », and describes it as a verlan, an apocope of « mifa ». It illustrates the word with a 2016 song. The entry sits with the other verlan kinship terms such as « reuf », « reum » and « reup ». No dated first use is documented in the sources consulted.
