Well, the word is "lifanecha".

LPNYC. Lamed, Pay, Nun, Yud, Chaf.

In Hebrew, "Pay" has two sounds, "p" and "f" (we can see vestiges of this in English -- a lot of times, when a Phoneiacn letter has two sounds, in English, putting an "h" after the equivalent letter turns it into the other sound: "s/sh", "t/th", "c/ch" (maybe sorta), "p/ph").

Lamed can be a prefex meaning "to". A final chaf can be a second-person posessive marker.

So, you've got the root word "pay nun yod", which means "face."
