Albanian

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *śur-(nā), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *seHur (“to piss, make water”). Cognate to Ancient Greek οὐρέω (ouréō, “to piss”) and Hittite [Term?] (/⁠sēẖur⁠/, “urine”). The hardening of the inlaut may have expressive reasons.[1] A further connection to Proto-Germanic *suraz (“sour”) and Lithuanian súras (“salty”) is also possible.

Noun

shurrë f

  1. urine, piss
