thjerrë

== Albanian == === Alternative forms === fjerë, fjerrë === Etymology === Ultimate origin is unknown. Possibly a Mediterranean Wanderwort. Orel reconstructs Proto-Albanian *tserā, which he relates to thërrmoj (“to crumble”) and thërrime (“crumb”). Moreover, Demiraj considers this word akin to Latin cicer (“chickpea”), Old Armenian սիսեռն (siseṙn, “chickpea”) and maybe Ancient Greek κριός (kriós, “a kind of chickpea”), from an Proto-Indo-European *(ḱi-)ḱer- (“pea”). === Noun === thjerrë f lentil ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== thjermë thirqe === References === Demiraj, Bardhyl (1997), Albanische Etymologien: Untersuchungen zum albanischen Erbwortschatz [Albanian Etymologies: […]] (Leiden Studies in Indo-European; 7)‎[1] (in German), Amsterdam, Atlanta: Rodopi, page 398 Erat, Janez (2008), Etimološki slovar albanskega jezika [Albanian Etymological Dictionary]‎[2] (in Slovene), 2 edition, page 112b Orel, Vladimir (1998), “thjerrë”, in Albanian Etymological Dictionary, Leiden; Boston; Köln: Brill, →ISBN, page 479 Orel, Vladimir (2000), A concise historical grammar of the Albanian language: reconstruction of Proto-Albanian‎[3], Leiden, Boston, Köln: Brill, →ISBN, page 68 === Further reading === “thjerrë”, in FGJSH: Fjalor i gjuhës shqipe [Dictionary of the Albanian language] (in Albanian), 2006
