Albanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Albanian *śēś-, from Proto-Indo-European *seh1i- (“to sift, riddle”). Cognate to Ancient Greek σα̃σις (sãsis, “sieve”). The sh- comes from ś- by regressive assimiliation, with the second -ś- of the next syllable. A loanword from the Greek cannot be excluded.[1]
Verb
[edit]shosh (aorist shosha, participle shoshur)
