See lëken on Wiktionary

Noun [Albanian]

Forms: lëkene [plural], lëkeni [definite], lëkenet [definite, plural]
Etymology: Older form of Albanian liqen. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lókus (“lake, pool”). Compare Latin lacus (“lake”), Ancient Greek λάκκος (lákkos, “waterhole, tank, pond, pit”), Ancient Greek λεκάνη (lekánē, “basin”), Old English lagu (“lake”). Hyllested and Joseph (2022) argue for a loanword from Greek λεκάνη ‘basin, tub’.
