vjeshtë

Albanian

Etymology

Likely from Proto-Albanian *wel-estā, derived from vjel (“to pluck, vintage”) (from Proto-Albanian *wela), cognate to Lithuanian suvalýti (“to harvest, reap”) and Ancient Greek εἴλω (eílō, “to shut in, press”). Pokorny, on the other hand, has linked it with the Latin goddess Vesta (and her Greek equivalent Εστία), which he considers of Illyrian origin.
