polem
See also: pólem
Albanian edit
Etymology edit
From po- + lem (Gheg past participle of lej (“I give birth, I am born”)). First used by Pjetër Bogdani, who might have also coined it.[1] The use of the participle lem while there is another word, lem, that also means people but is seemingly unrelated etymologically, may be coincidental.
