Etymology
Sometimes thought of as loan from Ancient Greek ἑβδομάς (hebdomás), via Latin hebdomas, although this remains debated due to the unexplained loss of the syllable containing -má-. More likely from Proto-Albanian *avā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyu- (“vital force”). Close to Latin aevum, Sanskrit आयु (āyu), Ancient Greek αἰές (aiés, “always”). See also amshoj.
