kokë

See also: koke and Koke

Albanian

Etymology

Originally only “spherical object”, thought to be borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin coccum (“scarlet berry, gall”). However, due to strong semantical parallels and on geographic grounds, it is perhaps more likely to be derived directly from Ancient Greek κόκκος (kókkos, “grain, seed, berry”). Compare koqe; "koko" is a Lallwort, or child language for "apple", "cherry" etc.

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
