șopârlă¹
- /ʃoˈpɨr.lə/
Where it comes from
Unclear. Older șopîrlă, influenced by șopîrcăi (“to joke, be goofy”) and năpârcă (“adder”), possibly from or cognate to Tosk Albanian shapinj (“lizards”, standard Albanian zhapinj), plural of shapi (standard zhapi) as a substratum word. Other less likely theories include a derivation of Ancient Greek σήψ (sḗps) or a Latin *sepinula.
