lubi

== Albanian == === Alternative forms === ljubi, luvgi, luvgji === Etymology === According to Orel, from luvgat, from Vulgar Latin *lupus peccatus, with difficult semantics. Most probably from Proto-Albanian *laubitja, related to Sanskrit लुभ्यति (lúbhyati, “to wish”), Proto-Slavic *ľubiti (“to love”), thus unrelated to lugat. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /luˈbi/ === Proper noun === lubi f (plural lubi, definite lubia, definite plural lubitë) (mythology) a mythological figure of Albanian folklore imagined as a spiteful multiheaded serpentine dragon woman (also imagined as a serpent or demon), not dissimilar to a Lernean Hydra in Ancient Greek folklore. The number of heads varies from 7 to 100, and when one is cut off another grows in its place.
