polem

See also: pólem

Albanian

Etymology

From po- +‎ lem (Gheg past participle of lej (“I give birth, I am born”)). First used by Pjetër Bogdani, who might have also coined it. The use of the participle lem while there is another word, lem, that also means people but is seemingly unrelated etymologically, may be coincidental.
