rroj

Albanian edit

Alternative forms edit

rronj — Arbëresh
rrnoj, rnoj — Gheg

Etymology edit

Disputed.

Possibly from Proto-Albanian *rēg-n-.^[1]
Topalli supports Mann's proposal of a borrowing from Latin remaneo (“to remain”) and rejects Meyer and Orel's etymologies because they ignore the Gheg form rrnoj.^[2]
Orel considers it a continuation of Proto-Albanian *rānja, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁-; akin to Lithuanian róti (“to cope, be ready”).^[3]
Meyer proposes a borrowing from Latin regere (“to direct”).^[4]

Verb edit

rroj (aorist rrojta, participle rrojtur)

to stay alive, survive
to reside, live, dwell
