palo
Albanian
Etymology
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *pau-. Latin paucus (“few, little”), pauper (“poor”), paulus (“small”), parvus (“small”), Old Armenian փոքր (pʿokʿr) and Old English fēaw (English few). However only Ancient Greek φαῦλος (phaûlos) has the exact meaning, suggesting that probably both words have a common substrate origin and are not related to the PIE root.
Adjective
palo m (feminine paloe)
- wicked, lacking morals
