# mëllagë
## Albanian
### Alternative forms

### Etymology

Most likely related to mëllë and mëllenjë, with which shares the same peculiarity of zero-grade phonetic variant. Huld, on the other hand, considers it part of a series of loan words from unattested ancient greek dialects labeled as Macedonian, being it akin to the native idiom of the Greek-speaking population in the Argead Kingdom, such as Ancient Macedonian *malákhā(with the reflex of /ɡ/ for Greek <χ> indicating a dialectal voicing of the what came as an aspirate stop from Greek). Orel suggests a loan from Ancient Greek μαλάχη (malákhē), although admitting that the sonorization of the auslaut is unexpected
