"zanë" meaning in Albanian

See zanë in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: zana [plural], zana [definite], zanat [definite, plural]
Etymology: Identical to and derived from zë (“voice”), with a sense development motivated by the main characteristic of these mythological figures. The term might have been contaminated with Latin Diāna (compare Romanian zână, Aromanian dzãnã, Asturian xana, Sardinian giàna). Another hypothesis, given her characteristics of muse of heroes and warrior, is the relationship with Ἀθηνᾶ (Athēnâ) (Mycenean a-ta-na) which, according to Beekes, has a Pre-Greek origin.
