Krah is not a Slavic loanword and 'krahinë' is an internal Albanian construction with the postfix -inë which you may find in lënd-inë, ball-inë, ngreh-inë etc (inë from Alb. 'anë' pl.'enë'-containor, vessel). Similarly Albanian have 'Shpat'-mountain side (cf. Engl. fathom) which is also a unit of measure. The Slavic 'krajina' and its semantic developments are mere coincidence or probably the two term have influenced one another.
