qepë

Albanian

Alternative forms

• qep
• kepë, kep (Gheg)

Etymology

Uncertain. Related to or derived from Latin cēpa (likely borrowed through Vulgar Latin; compare Romanian ceapă), or Ancient Greek κάπια (kápia, “onions”). Compare with Gheg kepë (“onion(s)”), which preserved the original /k/-sound.

Pronunciation
