The ideology of the etymology of Vladimir Orel

Vladimir Orel wrote that the Albanian language borrowed the word bretkoc(e)/frog from Old (Ionic) Greek βρόταχος
What is the linguistic evidence that proves borrowing from ancient Greek?
What if the old Greek borrowed it from the Albanian language?
Frog as a noun comes from the sound symbolism formed with the auxiliary verb bret + imitation of the sound of the frog *kwock. Bret+kwock is the origin of frog. There other words in Albanian language such as brret and brítm(ë) that are related to the production of sound by the human vocal organ.

Thus
BRET KWOCK

BRETKOC

It is simply the verb or brret/scream that proves the origin of the word from the Albanian language. While the origin of *kwock belongs to the frog.
First of all, this name is half verbal and half onomatopoeic. We know that in the name Bretkose the onomatopoeia does not need an etymology, while the most interesting part of the word is the verb form Bret, which we also have as a *bërtet and *brítm/ë in the Albanian language. If Orel were to focus on the names Brret-Britmë-Britëm, he would understand that the word belongs to the pre-Albanian or archaic substratum of Albanian and the word Bretkoce has precisely *Britmë as a compositional formation with two different parts harmonized according to the phonetic laws of the Albanian language. The frog is known as an animal that stands out for its characteristic sound.

Our ancestors were much more intelligent and complex in creating the lexicon compared to today's linguists who, despite having academic titles, often make linguistic fiascos.

Albanian dictionary:

brítm/ë,-a feminine noun; plural; -a(s)

1. loud voice, scream

bërtet (brret in Tosk dialect) intransitive verb; -íta, -ítur
1. Speaking in a very loud voice, scream, shout.

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development. One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book. I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin. Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M / Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall" in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

In this article I will cover the origin of the letter D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation. It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world? So what was the first language? Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...
