kodër

See also: koder, köder, and Köder

Albanian

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ker-d 'short mountain', from *(s)ker- (“short”), in which case it would be close to Old Persian [script needed] ((H)ara-kadriš, “mountain ravine”), Welsh cader (“fortress”), Old Irish cathir (“town, city”), Umbrian kateramu (“congregation”), Bulgarian котор (kotor, “hurdle”). Alternatively, it could represent a borrowing from Latin quadrum, also reflected in Romanian codru, Aromanian coduru.[1]
