akull

== Albanian == === Etymology 1 === Uncertain. Possibly: A derivation from Proto-Indo-European *keHl- whence also Proto-Celtic *kaletos (“hard”), Proto-Slavic *kaliti (“to temper, harden”), Latin callum (“hardened skin”). Borrowed from Germanic, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *jekulaz (“icicle”). Akin Old Armenian ոյծ (oyc, “cold, frost”), suffixed with -ull, though the two terms are phonologically incompatible. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈakuɫ/ Rhymes: -akuɫ ==== Noun ==== ákull m (plural ákuj, definite ákulli, definite plural ákujt) ice Synonym: cungri ===== Declension ===== ==== Adjective ==== akull (feminine akulle) very cold, ice-cold Synonym: i ftohtë (figurative) cold, insensible Synonyms: i ftohtë, i ngrirë ==== Adverb ==== akull very Synonyms: shumë, fare ==== Alternative forms ==== akullë — archaic akëll, hakull — dialectal ==== Derived terms ==== ==== References ==== === Etymology 2 === Possibly akin to Italian aculeo (“thorn”). ==== Noun ==== akull m (Calabria) arrow Synonyms: shigjetë, heshtëz ==== References ==== Miklosich, Franz (1871), “acúleus”, in Die romanischen Elemente im Albanischen (Albanische Forschungen; 2), Vienna, page 1 === Further reading === Meyer, G.
