grath

• grâth (Gheg)

In view of its meaning and the variant greth "flax-combings", likely from a diminutive *grabth of Proto-Albanian *graba, an o-grade noun related to kreh.^[1] Alternatively, with voicing of initial, from krath (“leaf bud, sprout on a tree”), variant of kranth ~ krëndth, diminutive of krand ~ krënd (“brushwood; tinder”).^[2] Finally, Çabej derives it from *granth, diminutive in -th from South Slavic (cf. Serbo-Croatian grana (“branch; brushwood”), Macedonian гранка (granka), dialectal Bulgarian гран (gran)).^[3]
