vras

== Albanian == === Etymology === Inherited from Proto-Albanian *u̯ərátˢ < older *u̯ərátˢə, from Proto-Indo-European *(h)u̯arn-áti̯a/e-, with the meaning going from "to wound (mortally)" to "to kill". This further continues PIE *(h)u̯arnā- (“wound”) (source of varrë (“wound”)). An initial Pre-Proto-Albanian *u̯r- can be excluded as it would have led to Albanian rr- and not vr-. Orel considers it from Proto-Albanian *awa-rautja, from Proto-Indo-European *reu (“to tear, to destroy”). This is unlikely as there is no independent evidence of PIE *reu̯H-d- extended to dental. Furthermore, *rou̯(H)-d-éi̯e/o- would have led to Alb. *-rés ~ -rét, as seen in vesh (“to wear”), ndez (“to light”), qell (“to bring”), qes (“to pull out”). === Verb === vras (aorist vrava, participle vrarë) (transitive) to kill to hurt, wound ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== varrë rrah === References === === Further reading === FGJSSH: Fjalor i gjuhës së sotme shqipe [Dictionary of the modern Albanian language]‎[1], 1980 “vras”, in FGJSH: Fjalor i gjuhës shqipe [Dictionary of the Albanian language] (in Albanian), 2006 Newmark, Leonard (1999), “vras”, in Oxford Albanian-English Dictionary‎[2], Oxford: Oxford University Press == Cornish == === Adjective === vras soft mutation of bras mixed mutation after 'th of bras === Mutation ===
