pelë

Albanian

Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *pöllə, from Pre-Proto-Albanian *pṓli̯a (or *pṓlni̯a), from Proto-Indo-European *pu̯ólh₂o- (“young animal”) + *-(n)ih₂. A connection to Proto-Indo-European *pōlH- (“animal young”) is unlikely due to the singular ablaut relationship. It is also etymologically unrelated to pjell (“to give birth”).[1]
