vlagë
Albanian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A loanword from a South Slavic language, compare Old Church Slavonic влага (vlaga, “moisture”), Serbo-Croatian влага (“moisture”); ultimately from Proto-Slavic *volga (“moisture”).[1][2][3] Although a connection with lag (“moisten”) has been proposed (Miklošič, Meyer), they are likely unrelated (yet, contamination cannot be excluded).
