Etymology[edit]
Orel suggests Greek σπάργανα (spárgana), σπάργανο (spárgano).[1] However, due to the sp - shp evolution and the n - r rhotacism pattern between Gheg and Tosk that only exists in old borrowing, suggest older borrowing such as Ancient Greek σπάργανον (spárganon)
Noun[edit]
shpargër m (plural shpërgenj, definite shpargri, definite plural shpërgenjtë)
- diaper
- swaddling clothes
- baby blanket
