Why are Topalli, Orel and Omari wrong about the Albanian language word lopatë/Shovel?
I have given an etymological version for this word. Today I am giving the second version which took me back to my first version from many years ago.
In my notes I found *lu and *ba.

What is the function of a shovel?
A shovel is a tool used to move materials such as soil or loose, granular materials (such as dirt, gravel, grain, or snow) from one place to another.
The Albanian language is beyond science.
Wrong etymology:
Lopatë/shovel
Borrowed from a South Slavic language; compare Serbo-Croatian lòpata ("shovel"), Bulgarian лопата (shovel, "shovel"). Ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic *lopata ("shovel, spade").
