Etymology

From South Slavic; cf. Macedonian еж (ež), Serbo-Croatian је̑ж (jȇž). Alternatively, variant eshk would be more conservative, from Proto-Albanian *etska, with devoicing from *edz-k-a, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵʰis; cognate with Ancient Greek ἐχῖνος (ekhînos), Macedonian еж (ež), German Igel, Lithuanian ežỹs.

Noun

esh m (plural eshë, definite eshi, definite plural eshët)

1. (regional) hedgehog
2. (regional, figurative) look-alike, doppelgänger
