bluaj

== Albanian == === Alternative forms === bluej — Gheg === Etymology === From Proto-Albanian *mlē(n-), from Proto-Indo-European *melh₁- (“to crush, grind”). Cognate to Old Church Slavonic млѣти (mlěti, “to grind”). Alternatively, according to Orel, from Latin molere (“to grind”), with the same buccalization of m before l as seen in bletë from melitta, though note that others such as Demiraj derive bletë from Proto-Albanian, with the same shift of m to b before l nonetheless.
