shqyej

Pronunciation: /ˈʃcyej/

“shqyej” is an Albanian word. Its meaning in English:

noun

  1. to tear up, rip off

Etymology

The conservative form is shklyej. Orel further reconstructs Proto-Albanian *skānja, from Proto-Indo-European *sken- (“to split off”) (cf. English skin, Breton scant (“fish scales”)), although this is impossible due to the lack of a required *-l-, and required *ō instead of *ā.
