Noun [Albanian]

Etymology: From South Slavic; cf. Macedonian еж (ež), Serbo-Croatian је̑ж (jȇž). Alternatively, variant eshk would be more conservative, from Proto-Albanian *etska, with devoicing from *edz-k-a, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵʰis; cognate with Ancient Greek ἐχῖνος (ekhînos), Macedonian еж (ež), German Igel, Lithuanian ežỹs.
