SUMMARY
Alb.gloq 'matter from eyes, rheum (in eyes); testis', dial. geuq id.(Cipo 1954, 14li Kristoforidhi 1961,'-114; Marin 1948, 128) is synonymous with g(e) lepë and it seems quite probable that both of them are morphologically similar. This structural resemblance is of special importance, since the etymology of gloq is unknown, while it is widely accepted.that g(ë)lepë re- flects Proto-Albanian (= PAlb.) prefix *ka- and the stem *laipa derived from IE *leip - 'to stick, to cling' (cf. Skt. avalepa 'ointment' < *ouo-loipa). Postulating the same prefix (gë) - < PAlb. *ka- in gloq, gëluq, one comes to a stem -loq /-luq which it is correct to identify with loqe 'penis, testis' rela ted to Lith. liaukà 'gland'. Both loqe and liaukà reflect a long diphthong in *leuk- connected with IE *leuk 'white'. The matter from eyes is actually white and IE *leuk fis the desi gnation of this kind of pus as well as the term for glands (cf. Slav. *belbmo 'wall-eye'< *belb 'white'). Another semantic pattern is represented in a(ë)lepë, with a very interesting pa rallei in Lat. lippus 'discharging matter (from the eyes)' con nected with IE *leip-.
