"cirkë" meaning in All languages combined

See cirkë on Wiktionary

Noun [Albanian]

IPA: /ˈt͡siɾkə/
Etymology: Onomatopoeic, based on sound made by a liquid drop. Comparable to Romanian țîrc (“milk drop sound during milking”), țîrcii (“to milk (the cow)”). The presence of cirk (“to milk”) as a verb indicates a possible cirk + -ë formation as a postverbal.
