This is the third and last episode of the trilogy:

What is Vat?
What is Pitt?
What is Kaph?

Kaph is the best approximation spelling of the dosha which is transliterated as Kapha in the Western world. It is pronounced "Ca-fa" (with consonantal sounds similar to those in the word “coffee”.
It is the dosha of people with a physiology that is soma-predominant and is divided into the five sub-doshas listed below (spelled Western style):

1) Tarpaka Kapha
2) Kledaka Kapha
3) Avlambaka Kapa
4) Shleshaka Kapha
5) Bodhaka Kapha

Doshas not only govern the physiological processes in our body, but they are also influential in determining personality and character, and kapha people have the tendency to be friendly, sociable, team players, and more tolerant of social friction resulting from interactions with other persons.
