Albanian

Alternative forms

  • ljubi, luvgi, luvgji

Etymology

According to Orel, from luvgat, from Vulgar Latin *lupus peccatus, with difficult semantics. Most probably from Proto-Albanian *laubitja, related to Sanskrit लुभ्यति (lúbhyati, to wish), Proto-Slavic *ľubiti (to love), thus unrelated to lugat.

Pronunciation

Proper noun

lubi f (plural lubi, definite lubia, definite plural lubitë)
