    Etymology of "sqep", "sqotë"

    I'm sorry to say you're wrong, even you've a very limited knowledge on Albanian wordformation. Here is another example (there are numerous): mund = can, may; s'mund = can't; smundje = illness; disease; sëmurë = ill; sick; Or, look at this one lol: mirë= well; good; smirë = heartburning.

    Etymology of "sqep", "sqotë"

    Well, since you're an albanian I'll give you another example, look at the words below: ul = to sit down, to lower, to humble, to kneel; s’ul = do not sit down, do not kneel, …. sul = rush, throw oneself, attack, or let us see their reflexive form (I think it’d be more understandable via...

    Horse, Linguistic History and more

    It is very probable that Albanian word kalë (horse) be related with the verb kaloj (“pass”, “go off”, “transfer”, “overstep”, etc.). As I’ve pointed out, the suffix “-oj” turns a noun into a verb, but actually Albanian lacks the noun kal/ë (“pass”, “transfer” …) and there does exist only kalë...

    The pelasgians

    The first derivative of Albanian gjë (or gje, both forms are useful) seems to be the verb gjej (in Tosk gjenj) that means obtain, find (first person singular) or gjen (second and third person singular). Is there anyone to explain if there is any relation of this Albanian word with Latin...

    Religion In what God(s) do you believe ?

    In Albanian: "Zot" means: 1- God; 2- Mr.; 3- Owner. "Zonjë" means "Ms."; "Zonë" means "occupation", "zone"; "Zanë" means "goddess" (it's a mythological character). All these words derive from "Ze" = 1- begin; 2- occupy; 3- catch; 4- size (v); ["zënë" is the p.p. of "ze"/"zë"; In Gheg: "zanë"]...

    Pre Indo European languages in Europe

    I wonder for their etymology. In modern Albanian "heq" (in Gheg: "hek") means "extract" (v); "hequr" (in Gheg: "hekur") means "extracted". Is it possible to be a coincidence?

    Religion In what God(s) do you believe ?

    I strongly believe in what I see/understand. None can make me believe in mistery. If there's a God who created a foolish child like me, it's not my fault. It's HIS!

    The pelasgians

    I do not know where have you found that Albanian gjë means all. Here is what it really means: In Gheg dialect: gja /ghja/ = 1- thing (n); 2- matter (n). Definite: gjaja /ghjaja/. In standard Albanian: gjë (definite gjëja). May be it cognates with Greek Γαῖα in the same way as Albanian lëndë =...

    The Albanian language

    It seems as if we're fighting for the native ownership of IE words. It would be ridiculous thinking that way! All IE peoples are equally its "owners", regardless a certain word appears to be native of. Such a "danger" perception means ... just to be sorry a lot indeed.

    The Albanian language

    There are numerous Greek and Latin words which come to be very much alike with Albanian participles, eg: “mat” (v) = “measure”, “weigh”; “matur” = the participle of “mat”; “i matur” (adj. masc.) = 1- “prudent”; 2- “measured” (adj); “e matur” (adj. fem.) = 1- “prudent”; 2- “measured” (adj); “e...

    The Albanian language

    I think it's an IE word, may be it comes from PIE *ghedh- "to join, to unite". As a matter of fact, Albanian "ngjit" means "to stick" or "to join". The problem is: how is it possible that the Albanian participle of "ghit" ("ghitun" or "gjitun") be similar with γειτων.

    The Albanian language

    You're right relating to the Albanian words "fqinj" and "komshi" but I'm afraid you're not for "gjiton". It's a very ancient word, Yetos is right on that point. Its wordroot is well preserved in Gheg "ghit" (stick, paste) or standard Albanian "ngjit". "Ghitun" is the participle of "ghit" in Gheg...

    Etruscans=Illyrians=Pelasgi //// tuscans=albanians ?????

    As a matter of fact, Albanian “truall” means “a useful land” for building the house and the orchard (or garden) around it. As a general term it means “a useful land”. The plural of “truall”/tru:all/ is “troye”/tro:je/. My opinion is that the first meaning of “tru-al” has been “orchard” or any...
