Etymology

Gheg variant of Tosk mund. From Proto-Albanian *māgnja, from Proto-Indo-European *magʰ-, *megʰ-. Compare Gothic 𐌼𐌰𐌲𐌰𐌽 ‎(magan), Proto-Slavic *mogь, *moťi ‎(“be able, can”). mund represents a nasal present of muj (cf. Tosk lind> Gheg lej, gdhe > gdhend etc). Alternatively from Proto-Albanian *mundnja, representing a secondary formation based on or yielding mund[1].
