bekoj

Albanian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin benedicō (I bless, praise). A more phonologically conserved variant is bënkoj, whereas the standard form was possibly affected by be (oath) considering the lack of reduction of the unstressed vowel.[2][3]

  • IPA(key): [bɛˈkoj]
