Albanian edit

Etymology edit

From Proto-Albanian *redza, from Proto-Indo-European *sr-ed(h) (to whirl, bubble, stream)[1] or Proto-Indo-European *Hreydʰ- (cf. English ride), suffixed form of *h₃reyH- (to move, churn). Possibly related to the Illyrian deity name *Redon and the Celtic hydronym Rodanos.(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Alternatively from Gothic 𐍂𐌹𐌲𐌽 (rign)[2]

Verb edit

rrjedh (aorist rrodha, participle rrjedhur)

  1. to flow, stream
  2. to leak, trickle, drip
