englanti A sand dune that elongates parallel to the prevailing wind.

Such seifs have a somewhat zig-zag form instead of a fairly straight line.
On the top of seifs small transverse dunelets are very often found, and these may be likened to almost straightened-out barchans.(..)On the top of the seif they form a wave-like pattern with a fairly defined "wavelength".

Though the actual transition forms suggested in Fig. 76 do exist and have been examined by the author, the above tentative explanation of the growth of a seif dune chain should certainly not be taken as implying that all such chains have originated as barchans.

Seifs are longitudinal forms elongated parallel to the prevailing wind direction.
