editEtymology
editMultiple reconstructions:
1) Demiraj derives it from Proto-Albanian *ĝāmtḗr-[1]
2) Orel from Proto-Albanian *dzanra[2]
3) Matzinger from Proto-Albanian *ðándura-, from Pre-Proto-Albanian *j́ándura[3]
All ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵem- (“to marry”). Cognate to Latin gener, Ancient Greek γαμβρός (gambrós), Sanskrit जामातृ (jāmātṛ).
