Orel's claim that the Albanian word "kreshnik" (hero, fighter) comes from Serbian, derived from a word meaning "border", is a misguided attempt at etymology. As a Slavist, Orel is expected to prioritize Slavic languages, but this approach neglects the true origins of the word. Instead of providing a meaningful etymology, Orel relies on comparative linguistics, focusing on form rather than semantics. To understand the word's origin, Orel should have explored the etymology of "kreshnik" within the Serbian language, rather than simply providing its meaning. This oversight prevents a deeper understanding of the word's archaic roots and its embodiment of physical and functional qualities. Furthermore, Orel fails to recognize the classical group B Z B or B B Z, crucial for understanding the word's formation. The Albanian word "kreshnik" is closely related to "Kre-Kry-Kreu", meaning "head" or "top", conveyin

The Albanian words "*Kal" (horse) and the verb "kaloj" (pass), both convey movement. The presence of the letter "L" in these words seems to be the key to unlocking their code. "Ka L" (to have L) and "Ba L" (to make L) are equivalent, despite the differences in prefix (G, K, or B), suggests a deeper linguistic pattern. To the English word "*leg" shares the same root. This could indicate a common ancestral language or influence. The "L" in these words might represent a fundamental concept the movement.

Gjuhëtarët kanë besuar prej kohësh se fjala shqipe për "numër" rrjedh nga latinishtja "numerus". Megjithatë, një shqyrtim më i afërt i sistemit numerik të gjuhës shqipe dhe fjalëve të tjera të lidhur me këtë koncept nxjerr në pah një etimologji unike dhe magjepsëse. Numërimi dhe koncepti i "I"-së dhe "U(në)"-së Në gjuhën shqipe. Në shqipe, fjala për "një" është "nji" dhe "i" në gjuhën Gegnisht, që përfaqëson një njësi të vetme në numrat dhe "U" (në) në Çamërisht që përfaqëson një njësi të vetme për njerezit. Ky koncept dualizues "I"-së dhe "U"-së është qendror në sistemin e numrave shqip dhe peremrave vetore, ku çdo "i" ose përemri "U" përfaqëson një gjë të vetme. Për shembull, numri një do të përfaqësohej nga një "I" ndërsa përemri i vetes se parë njëjës nga një "U" (Unë në standart) Sistemi shqip i numërimit dhe peremrave vetore është unitar,

Linguists have long believed that the Albanian word for "number" derives from the Latin "numerus". However, a closer examination of the Albanian language's numerical system reveals a unique and fascinating etymology. Counting and the Concept of "I" In Albanian, the word for "one" is "nji" and "i" in Geg Albanian language, which represents a single unit or "I". This concept of "I" is central to the Albanian numbering system, where each "I" represents a single thing. For example, the number eleven would be represented by a series of 11 "I"s. The Albanian numbering system is unitary, based on the concept of "I", and uses a combination of fingers and hands to represent numbers. The positions of the fingers on the hands are used to give meaning to their numbers, with each finger representing a single "I". Archaeological Evidence The archaeological discoveries in the Ba

The Latin word "Protegere" is commonly believed to derive from "pro" (before) and "tegere" (cover). However, a closer examination reveals a more complex etymology rooted in the Albanian language. The Albanian phrase "Te že" (meaning "covers") shares a striking similarity with the Latin "tegere". The Albanian verb "že" (covers) exhibits a phonetic shift from "G" to "Z", a common phenomenon in Albanian linguistics. This etymological connection suggests that the Latin "tegere" may have borrowed from Albanian. Furthermore, the Latin "pro" can be traced back to the Albanian verb "bulo" (cover) (changed to "pro" in Latin), following the phonetic rules of "b" to "p" and "l" to "r". This doubling of Albanian verbs in Latin indicates a technological transfer of linguistic concepts. The concept of protection and defense is centr

The "enigmatic" Female Figure of Pločnik, dating back to the Neolithic period (around 5000-4500 years BC), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Albanian people. Discovered at the archaeological site of Pločnik, near Prokuplja in southeastern Serbia, this ancient figurine offers a glimpse into the lives of the early Albanians. The region of Pločnik has been inhabited by Albanians since ancient times. However, with the arrival of Slavic tribes in the 6th century, the Albanians were pushed further south, and the territory was conquered by the Serbs. Despite this, the archaeological findings at Pločnik reveal a thriving Albanian culture, characterized by advanced trade networks, crafts, art, and metallurgy. The Female Figure of Pločnik is a remarkable example of early Albanian figurative art. The figurine features a distinctive flat, triangular face with an eagle-like nose and large eyes, complemented by braided hair.   Fatbardha Demi's research suggests that t

The word "nit" has a rich history, and it is connected to the Geg Albanian. The meaning of "nit" as "to stick, glue, adhere" makes sense, given the nit's tendency to attach itself to human hair. The evolution of words and their meanings across languages is a captivating topic. The fact that the English word "nit" originates from the Geg Albanian language highlights the linguistic exchange and borrowing that occurs between cultures. In Geg Albanian, the word "nit" is still used to describe the act of sticking, showcasing the language's influence on other tongues. This etymological connection adds a new layer of depth to the word "nit", demonstrating the power of language to shape our understanding of the world. Copyright © 2024 Fatmir Iliazi
