Illyrian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *dorkw-o-.Cognate to Ancient Greek δόρπον (dórpon, “supper, dinner; evening”) and Albanian darkë (“supper, dinner; evening”).[1] Has entered the declension of the feminine ā-stems. According to A. Lubotsky and M. de Vaan, considering the distribution of the term, Greek, Albanian and Illyrian strongly suggest borrowings from an old Balkan substrate source.[2]

Noun[edit]

*drakoina

  1. supper, dinner (evening meal)
  2. feast
