javë

Albanian edit

Etymology edit

Sometimes thought of as loan from Ancient Greek ἑβδομάς (hebdomás), via Latin hebdomas, although this remains debated due to the unexplained loss of the syllable containing -má-.[1][2] More likely from Proto-Albanian *avā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyu- (“vital force”). Close to Latin aevum, Sanskrit आयु (āyu), Ancient Greek αἰές (aiés, “always”). See also amshoj.
