Albanian

Etymology 1

According to Orel from the aoristic form of marr without a clear sense development. It could also be a remnant of a grammatical structure of a lost substrate language, which may be the source of the same interjection found in all Balkan languages. Alternatively, from Greek μωρέ (moré, “mate”, interjection, literally “stupid!”), a frozen vocative of μωρός (mōrós). In that case, it may be a doublet of bre.

  1. man!, mate!, dude!, bro! (vocative particle used in a call to a man)

Can be placed before or after the noun, whereas bre can only be placed after.
