ardhje

Albanian

Etymology

ardh +‎ -je. Compare Hittite 𒄩𒅈𒁺 (ḫardu-, “offspring, descendant”), Old Church Slavonic родити (roditi, “give birth, originate”), and perhaps (Old) Armenian որդի (ordi, “child, offspring”). Possibly from the same root of hardhi, with a sense development similar to Proto-Germanic *stamniz meaning both ‘stem, tree stalk’ and ‘tribe, lineage’.

Noun

ardhje f (indefinite plural ardhje, definite singular ardhja, definite plural ardhjet)

  1. arrival, incoming
  2. origin, lineage
