Etymology[edit]
Disputed:
- according to Orel, a dialectal word from Mirdita previously misinterpreted in meaning; it would have originally meant 'study, office room'. From Byzantine Greek γραφεῖον (grapheîon) (whence Modern Greek γραφείο (grafeío)),[1]
- according to Çabej, from the prefix gër- + fej (plural of fyell).[2]
Noun[edit]
gërfej m
