mbaroj

Albanian

Alternative forms

Etymology

According to Meyer and Tagliavini from mbar (I bring (back)) (mbar + -oj). Related to Albanian mbarë (good, right, complete, wholly, etc.), further related to mbart (I bear, carry (back)), Albanian mbaj (I hold, carry) and bie (I bring).[1]

Orel proposed it as a (prefixal) derivative of parë.[2]

A formation with the verbal suffix -o-, from Proto-Albanian *-ē- (from *-eh₁-).(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
