From Proto-Albanian *bardza, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰórh₁ǵos, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerHǵ- (“to shine, whiten”), whence also Lithuanian brėkšti (“to dawn”), Proto-Slavic *brězgъ (“dawn, daybreak”), Proto-Germanic *berhtaz (“bright, shining”), Persian برازیدن (barâzidan, “to beautify”), Sanskrit भ्राजते (bhrājate, “he shines”).

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.

Borrowed from Byzantine Greek κατοῦνα (katoûna, “soldier's tent, tent camp”). 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).

Compare Lithuanian béržas, Czech bříza, Ossetian бӕрз (bærz), English birch, Sanskrit भूर्ज (bhūrjá, “Himalayan birch”)). Possibly the source of Romanian brad (“fir”).

Vladimir I. Georgiev

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.

From Proto-Albanian *mālā, akin to Ancient Greek μῆλον (mêlon, “apple”), Latin mālum (“apple”), either a cognate or borrowed from either of the two. Likely from a western dialect borrowed from Doric Greek. A borrowing from Latin would be unusually early, as the shift from *ā to o, characteristic of inherited words, would not be paralleled in any other Latin loan. Direct inheritance is formally possible, though dubious given the defined areal distribution and the absence of any clear cognate outside of it. See Ancient Greek μῆλον (mêlon) for further connections. Sense 2 is a common metaphor, compare Ancient Greek μῆλον (mêlon, “cheek”) etc.

Pes gishta na i ka dora, // Kater kom na i ka dhija, // Tri kam terezija, // E dy molla na i ka vajza. (northwestern Gheg)

Five fingers has the hand, // Four legs has the goat, // Three legs the scales, // And two cheeks has the girl.
