"cefël" meaning in All languages combined

See cefël on Wiktionary

Noun [Albanian]

IPA: /ˈt͡sɛfəl/
Etymology: Uncertain. Meyer derives it from new Greek τσέφλι (tséfli), which is somewhat supported by the territorial distribution in southern Tosk. But the vocalic alteration e:i in cefël:cifël (“splinter”), and especially in cufël (“snowflake”) in Gheg make it doubtful. Furthermore, τσέφλι (tséfli) and τσόφλι (tsófli) themselves remain with unknown source.
