gjysmë

sq-noun

gjysmë f (plural gjysma, definite gjysma, definite plural gjysmat)

gjysma (plural)
gjysma (definite)
gjysmat (definite plural)

Has been linked to Proto-Indo-European *yemH- (“twin”), although this is problematic both phonologically and semantically.
May reflect Proto-Indo-European *sḗmi-ty-om, compare Ancient Greek ἥμισσον n (hḗmisson, “half”), from *sēmi- (“half”). Original *s regularly yields gj before accented vowels. The original *ē, after becoming *o must have regularly fronted to *e due to the following *i, and afterwards raised to *i because of the preceding palatal occlusive and following nasal, as also happened in qind, gjind. The evolution of an original stressed gji before labials to an oscillating gjy ~ gji ~ gju can also be observed in magjyp. The metathesis of ms may have been reinforced by contamination with -më, compare also kullusmë.
An early form of the term influencing Romanian jumătate, Aromanian giumitati／giumitate, although possible, seems unnecessary. A direct borrowing from Paleo-Balkan into Balkan Romance is even less likely, as the terms simply metathesised outcomes of Latin medietās, the Pan-Romance word for “half”.

thërrime

thërrime f (plural thërrime, definite thërrimja, definite plural thërrimet)

thërrime (plural)
thërrimja (definite)
thërrimet (definite plural)

First attested in the old definite ablative in the Mëshari of Buzuku as fermeshit
Borrowed from Greek θρύμμα (thrýmma, “crumb; fragment”), akin to Romanian fărâmă, Aromanian sãrmã. The verb thërrmoj (“to crumble, shatter”) was presumably coined in Albanian and borrowed into Balkan Romance as Aromanian sãrmu (“to crumble”), Romanian fărma, sfărma, fărâma, sfărâma (“to shatter, break”), from which Aromanian sãrmã (“crumb”) and Romanian fărâmă, sfărâmă (“crumb”) may have been formed as deverbals. The borrowing into Balkan Romance must have happened at a time when the Aromanian phoneme /θ/, now present in foreign words, did not yet exist and was hence adapted as /s/, while Daco-Romanian must have loaned the term from a northern dialect which had /f/ in this position, as in fërmi, attested in Buzuku.
Has also been linked with ther (“to slaughter, pierce”), however the morphemes at stake are not well identified and the semantical evolution is not straightforward.

Orel derives it as compound of ka (“out, from”) and tund (“to shake, dangle”), supposedly a calque of South Slavic *kolyba (“hut”), folk-etymologized from *kolybati (“to shake”); however, Slavic is actually a loan from Ancient Greek καλύβη (kalúbē).

The change from n-r can be attributed to rhotacism. Cognates in closely akin Paleo-Balkan languages were lent into Romanian rață (“duck”) and Slovene ráca (“duck”).

magar

Most probably derived from a substrate along with Romanian măgar. Alternatively from *margar, from *margë, from Gothic *𐌼𐌰𐍂𐌷𐍃 (*marhs, “horse”), from Proto-Germanic *marhaz, from Proto-Indo-European *márkos (“horse”), even though the existence of this root is controversial.

Uncertain, but cognate to Romanian păstaie (“pod”), Aromanian pãstalji (“pod”):
* Possibly borrowed from Vulgar Latin *pī̆stālia (whence also the (A)Romanian words), from Late Latin pī̆stāre (“to pound”), frequentative of Latin pīnsāre (“to stamp, pound, crush”), but this is semantically questionable.
* An alternative proposal is from bisht (“tail”) + -ajë.
* Finally, may be of the same Iranian origin as Latin pistacium (“pistacchio”), Ancient Greek πιστάκιον (pistákion), βιστάκιον (bistákion), Persian بسته (boste, “nut”), Sanskrit बुस्त (busta, “husk or shell of fruit”).

* Singularized plural of *bradh, from Proto-Albanian *bardza, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrh₁ǵós (“birch”). On the other hand, Matzinger reconstructs Proto-Albanian *braȷ́ʉh sg, *braȷ́ai pl. Compare Lithuanian béržas, Czech bříza, Ossetian бӕрз (bærz), English birch, Sanskrit भूर्ज (bhūrjá, “Himalayan birch”)). Possibly the source of Romanian brad (“fir”).
* Alternatively, A part of a series of loan words from unattested ancient Greek dialects labeled as Macedonian because it was akin to the native idiom of the Greek-speaking population in the Argead Kingdom. borrowed as Ancient Macedonian *brathy (“savin”), with Romanian brad having the same Greek dialectal origin, the Greek itself being of ultimate Semitic provenance).

Likely inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₁ter- (“fire”), whence also Proto-Iranian *HáHtr̥š (“fire”) and Latin āter (“black, darkened *(by fire)”), ātrium (“room *(where the fire is)”). Also found in Balkan Romance and most Slavic languages, although the presence of va- ~ vo- originating from earlier *o (cf. vadhë, varfër, vesh, etc.), itself from earlier *ā, reaveals it as an originally Albanian term, or more generally a Paleo-Balkan one, then evolved into the Tosk Albanian form before being borrowed in the other languages. It arrived in some Slavic languages likely through Balkan Romance. An early borrowing from Latin āter, ātrium, although it cannot be entirely ruled out, is improbable, while a borrowing from Iranian is deemed unlikely due to geographical-historical reasons and the semantic field of the term. Compare French foyer and German Fokus, Brennpunkt for the scientifical senses.
