The Albanian verb "bho" (to make, to do) has spawned a range of participle adjectives across dialects, including "bon/ban" (Geg), "bër" (Tosk), and "bur" (Cham). These forms exhibit a phonetic transformation (n>r) and inherit the core meaning of "bho", making "bër" a quality adjective in the Albanian language. This phenomenon demonstrates categoricality in semantics, a fundamental concept in linguistics.
