mjedër

Albanian

Alternative forms

• mjedhër, mjetërr, midër, mitër

Etymology

From the more conservative variant mjedhër, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *mesdrā, presumably cognate with Lithuanian mẽdis (“tree; wood”) and Latvian mežs (“wood”); however, these are in fact from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (“middle”). On both semantic and phonetic grounds, one might also consider a derivative of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *médʰu (“honey, mead”).

Noun

mjedër f (plural mjedra, definite mjedra, definite plural mjedrat)
