Etymology
From dallënd + -ysh. Compare këlysh. Seems to be related to the Illyrian word Ταυλάντιοι (Taulántioi). The name was also attested as "Daulantioi" (Δαυλαντιοι) by Nonnus of Panopolis in the 5th century CE, which might be closer to how the Taulanti said the name.[1]
Noun

- swallow (Hirundinidae)
- (textiles) castle: forked part of the loom from which the heddles are suspended
