[edit]Etymology
[edit]- From Proto-Albanian *anera, from Proto-Indo-European *dreH- (“sleep, to sleep”). The reconstruction is not entirely certain. Under the assumption of epenthetic -d- (within -nr-) the word may be linked with Ancient Greek ὄναρ (ónar), ὄνειρος (óneiros) and Old Armenian անուրջ (anurǰ).
- From Late-Proto-Albanian *ándərrə "dream" < Proto-Albanian *andərnə < Early-Proto-Albanian *andrənnə < Pre-Proto-Albanian *andrā- < *anrā- < PIE *h₂(e)nra-h₂/*h₃(e)nra-h₂.[2]
