Albanian

Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *redza, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *sr-ed(h) (“to whirl, bubble, stream”)[1] or (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *Hreǵ- (“to flow”). Compare Latin rigāre (“to wet”), Lithuanian rõkti, ruõkti (“drizzle”), and also Old English rīð, rīðe (“stream, brook”), Middle Low German rīde (“stream, brook, watercourse”). Possibly related to the Illyrian deity name *Redon and the Celtic hydronym Rodanos.(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
