Etymology

edit

From the accusative Proto-Albanian *a-ta, compound of proclitic particle a and demonstrative ta, from Proto-Indo-European *tóms, masculine accusative plural of *só m (“that (one)”) (compare Latin istud, English that).

Older and dialectal varieties retain ablative asish, acish, from a + Proto-Albanian *tsj(a)isu, from *ḱjoisu, locative of Proto-Indo-European *ḱís (“this (one)”) (compare English he).
