Abstract
The etymology of Alb. dash m. ‘ram’ is disputed. On the one hand, I argue in this paper that a neglected proposal by La Piana (1939: 91)-who very briefly hinted at a possible connection with Lat. dēnsus ‘thick, dense’-is worth being further explored, as a ram could have been plausibly originally named ‘the thick(- fleeced) one’. On the other hand, I propose a new etymology for Alb. dash, which is based on the widespread Benennungsmotiv of the ram as ‘the running one’. Accordingly, I connect the Albanian word with the PIE root *dʰenh₂- ‘run, flow’ and argue for a closer morphological comparison with Ved. dhāsí- m.(/f.) ‘wellspring, gush’ and W. dos m. ‘drop, trickle’.
