çast

See also: cast, čast, část, časť, cast., Cast, and CAST

Albanian

Borrowed from a South Slavic language, compare Old Church Slavonic часъ (časŭ, “time, moment, hour”), Serbo-Croatian čas (“time, moment, hour”) and Bulgarian час (čas, “hour, period”). Ultimately from Proto-Slavic *časъ (“time”).

The auslaut -t derives from the old locative or prepositional accusative case.^[1]^[2]^[3]

çast m (plural çaste, definite çasti, definite plural çastet)
