Etymology

The older form is որջիլ (orǰil), of uncertain origin.[1][2] Since Bugge the term has often been connected with Sanskrit रिक्षा (rikṣā), लिक्षा (likṣā, “nit, young louse”), Persian رشک‎ (rešk, “nit”), Latin ricinus (“tick”), Lithuanian érkė (“tick, mite”), Latvian ērce (“tick, mite”) and especially Albanian ergjëz (“nit”), and derived from Proto-Indo-European,[3][4][5] but there are phonological problems.
