Etymology

[edit]

From po- +‎ lem (Gheg past participle of lej (I give birth, I am born)). First used by Pjetër Bogdani, who might have also coined it.[1] The use of the participle lem while there is another word, lem, that also means people but is seemingly unrelated etymologically, may be coincidental.
