palo
Albanian
Etymology
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *pau-. Latin paucus (“few, little”), pauper (“poor”), paulus (“small”), parvus (“small”), Old Armenian փոքր (pʿokʿr) and Old English fēaw (English few). However only Ancient Greek φαῦλος (phaûlos) has the exact meaning, suggesting that probably both words have a common substrate origin and are not related to the PIE root.
Usage notes
- This is one of the few words that does not require an adjectival article.
