He has written an extensive work on Albanian etymology, writing about words in Albanian that are of foreign origins and words in foreign languages which are Albanian. But I do not have it, so I cannot really go into it.
I do know however that he goes into our language's relation to Greek, explaining that the incorporation of certain ancient Greek words into Albanian suggests our presence in the Balkans since antiquity. Among the words he mentions which comes to mind is drapër (in Geg it is drapën) meaning sickle, from ancient Greek drapanon, or trumzë from thrýmba (thyme). These words are of Doric Greek origin.

Your rhetoric is a refuge for fools because you cant realistically expect to use a a turn of the century priest as a source for a scientific, linguistic matter & have credibility at the same time but I guess you can pretend to others

HD wtf dude, now when you don't like a source you hold a veto for it ? Grow a brain dude, and get some guts so that the next time someone proves you wrong you have the logic and the guts to accept it and come to terms with it.
P.S you forgot to mention which century when you mention turn of the century. Here's a little help, it was the 17th century and unlike you this guy was able to speak and translate from Albanian and Latin. When you learn to do the same then come here and act like you're the $hit.

Do you understand that a 17th century priest is not a credible source to answer a question concerning etymology which is reserved for experts in the contemporary social science of linguistics, you moron? What is there to discuss? Come up with a credible source otherwise, we're still at Reply #70

Rexxo do you know if HD stopped giving handjobs, cuz he started acting histerical again. Its either that or the fact that he is out of arguments to back up his nonsense.

Highdyke, you Bulgarian retard, Bogdani is being used here as a primary source from the time. Bogdani didn't write about the origin of the anj ending, he actually used it in his regular tongue.

Bogdani, as a 17th century priest, is not a credible source to decipher etymology, that is the business of linguist & the more of you act oblivious to that Common Sense objective observation, the dumber you come accross as a group
