bekoj

Albanian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin benedicō (to 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]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [bɛˈkoj]

Verb

bekoj (aorist bekova, participle bekuar) (transitive)

  1. to bless
  2. to wish well
