trevë

See also: trêve

Albanian

Etymology

Pokorny (1959) attributed it to Proto-Indo-European *treb-, *trē̆b, *trōb (“building, dwelling”) (cf. Latin trabs (“balk, beam”), Welsh tref (“dwelling”), Lithuanian trobà (“house, edifice, building”), Old English ðorp,[1].

Orel[2] and Çabej[3] attributed it to Middle Greek τρέβα "truce", itself from treve (also Old French trieve, whence French trêve), from Frankish *treuwu, from Proto-Germanic *trewwō (“fidelity; pledge”). etymologically identical to Proto-Celtic *trebā, if not derived from it.
