rroj
Albanian
Etymology
Disputed.
- Possibly from Proto-Albanian *rēg-n-.[1]
- Topalli supports Mann's proposal of a borrowing from Latin remaneo (“to remain”) and rejects Meyer and Orel's etymologies because they ignore the Gheg form rrnoj.[2]
- Orel considers it a continuation of Proto-Albanian *rānja, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁-; akin to Lithuanian róti (“to cope, be ready”).[3]
- Meyer proposes a borrowing from Latin regere (“to direct”).[4]
