Uncertain. The -b- is most likely epenthetic to avoid the -mr- cluster. Theories that have put forward are:
# Akin to Arbëresh zë (“soul”). Compare Romanian inimă (“heart”), from Latin anima (“soul”), which is the only other Indo-European language to have supplanted the original Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr ~ *ḱr̥dés. The morphemes involved and the ultimate etymology are not clear. Some proposals have been put forward:
## From the verb zë／zâ (“to seize”), although this has been doubted.
## Has been compared with Ancient Greek εὐθηνέω (euthēnéō, “to thrive, bloom”), itself of unclear origin.
# Linked with Proto-Germanic *gamaną (“companion; fun”) to a tentative root Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰem- (“to move violently”), although this is very dubious.
# A connection with Ancient Greek ῑ̔́μερος (hī́meros, “yearning, love”) is phonetically unlikely.
Similarity with Ottoman Turkish ضمیر (zamir, “interior part; heart”) is coincidental.

-em

Related to më, mu, mua (“me”) and im (“my, mine”). -em is the Tosk and Standard Albanian variant of the Gheg personal suffix -na (“I, me”). The suffix -em (“I, me”) indicates the 1st person singular, mediopassive, present (same as Gheg -na). Used the same way as Greek verb suffix "-μαι/-mai" (also 1st pers., sg., mediopassive, indicative, present).

(personal suffix) used to form the 1st person singular present tense of verbs in mediopassive voice (indicative mood).

active bëj (“I do, make, appear”) + h (mediopassive marker) + -em → mediopassive bëhem (“I become, turn into”)

active zbeh (“I make white(er), pale(er)”) + -em → mediopassive zbehem (“I'm getting pale(er), white(er)”)

mediopassive voice

Forms verbs in mediopassive voice from active voice

adjective shkurt (“short”) + o-steem + h (mediopassive marker) + -em → mediopassive verb shkurtohem (“I become shorter”)

Unclear. Akin to Arbëresh glunzë (“voice”). Possibilities include:
# Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *gol(H)-s-os, via a byform *gl̥(H)-s-ós, whence also Proto-Slavic *golsъ (“voice”), Lithuanian gal̃sas (“voice”), Proto-Germanic *kalz-ōną (“to call”). However the medial -h- instead of expected **-sh- is left unexplained.
# From a byform *ǵʰnud-sḱ-eh₂, doubly methasised from Proto-Indo-European *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s ~ *dn̥ǵʰuh₂és (“tongue”). Compare Tocharian B kantwo, also metathised. The outcome gl- (and later gj-) from original *ǵ(ʰ)n- is also attested in gju (“knee”). The usage of the infixed *-sḱ- does not seem have any parallels.
# A connection with Ancient Greek γλῶσσα (glôssa), itself of unclear origin, cannot be proven.
