The ancient Greek word Kyon/dog comes from the Albanian word *shklyej which has the root *klyej.
"Klyen" is the origin of Kyon.
The meaning of the word shklyen/shklien (Geg and Tzam dialect) is:
1. pull or rip (something) apart or to pieces with force.
The Albanian language had another word *kelysh/puppy, which proves the origin of the ancient greek word, where kelysh is a small *klyen, placing the former diminutive ish, just like lepur/rabbit with lepurush/baby rabbit.
