bir

See also: Bir and bír

Albanian

Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *bira, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérus (compare Old English byre, Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐌿𐍂 (baur, “son”))[1]. Phonetically and semantically close to Messapic *bilia (“daughter”) and *biles (“son”), Matzinger reconstructs two different roots: Proto-Albanian *bʰi-ro and Proto-Messapic *bʰi-lo, both from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH (“to grow, become”)

Noun

bir m (indefinite plural bij, definite singular biri, definite plural bijtë)

  1. son
