ishëm
Albanian
Etymology 1
From Illyrian The name of the river was recorded for the first time by Vibius Sequester (4th or 5th century AD) as Isamnus. Albanian Ishëm derives from the ancient name through Albanian phonetic changes,[1][2][3] however it has been noted that the accentual pattern found in Íshëm < Ísamnus presupposes an Adriatic "Illyrian" intermediary.[4][5]
