Albanian

Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *būšta, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow”) (compare English bush, Greek φύση (fýsi, “nature”), Armenian բույս (buys, “plant”)). Others, however, argue for a borrowing from a pre-Indo-European substratum, drawing parallels to Basque bustan and Romanian buştean.[1][2]

Noun

bisht m (plural bishtra)

  1. (anatomy) tail
  2. (orthography) cedilla
