OP A colleague and I have been scouring dictionaries, word books (including Word.A.Day!) and the Internet for the word "saufet". We believe it to have been "anglicized" to "soffit" which is a theatrical architectural term. The word saufet seems to have French (soffit) origins yet appears (online) in many Germanic phrases. We do know that it refers to alcove-like areas in a theater stage used to hide lighting and cords. Can anybody out there help? Is this one of those old fashioned words that is no longer used in the English language? Thank you!
