Explanation:
The abbreviation is really for 'jamfør', which means to compare or reference - but in this context, it simply means see item 3.

cf.


Explanation:
In modern texts I very often use 'see' as Per suggests, and would probably do so here.

Just for the record, however, you will often see cf. in English, which is the exact equivalent.

As in the Concise Oxford Dictionary and many other places:

cf.
· abbrev. compare with.
– ORIGIN from Latin confer = ‘compare’.
