"vatra" meaning in Czech

See vatra in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈvatra]
Rhymes: -atra Etymology: Borrowed from Romanian vatră or Aromanian vatrã, which in turn are borrowed from Tosk Albanian vatër (definite form vatra), from Proto-Albanian *ōtar, obtained through the *o to *vo-/*va- development which is observed exclusively in the Albanian language as the diphthongization of *o in the two major dialect groups (cf. also vadhë, varfër, vesh, etc.). Some of the Slavic forms are explained as being borrowed from proto-Romanian or other Vlach languages through semi-nomadic Aromanian shepherds.
