Alternative forms
Etymology
A variant of truaj or a derivative of terë, which explains the plural "troje".[1] Alternatively, Orel relates it to (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin trībulum (“thresher”), but the connection between 'thresher' and 'estate' is not explained.[2]
Noun
truall m (plural troje, definite trualli, definite plural trojet)
