Albanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Rhyming phrase. The second element is seemingly nonsensical, although compare Bulgarian ра́ка (ráka, “casket with relics”), of which it would represent a diminutive, and Macedonian рачка (račka, “handle”).
Noun[edit]
- goods and chattels, bag and baggage
- Synonym: plaçka e maçka
