• JAV, jav

• (Arbëresh Albanian) vahj
• (Çamëria dialect) valë
• (Gheg) voj

• Uncertain. Maybe from the other word meaning woe, connecting the tears with oil.Or a more probable theory suggests since Latin oliva gave rise to Albanian ulli, that means that the term vaj didn't derive from Latin but rather it might have evolved from Old Albanian *vaīlë (compare the dialectal forms) and earlier *ewaila becoming cognate with Ancient Greek *ἐλαίϝα (*elaíwa) and Old Armenian եւղ (ewł, “oil”) both, in turn, deriving from a Mediterranean substrate language.

• From Proto-Albanian *u̯ɔλa, from Vulgar Latin *oli̯u, from Latin oleum[1], from Ancient Greek ἔλαιον (élaion).

vaj m (indefinite plural vajra, definite singular vaji, definite plural vajrat)

1. oil

Possibly from Proto-Albanian *uai, from Proto-Indo-European *wai, *uai (“woe!, alas!”); similar words are found in several European languages. Cognate to Ancient Greek ὀά (oá, “woe!, alas!”) and Old Armenian վայ (vay, “cry of pain”), Latin vae, English woe. Compare also Romanian vai, Serbo-Croatian авај (avaj), Italian guai. In view of a widespread secondary meaning 'to cry', one may also consider Proto-Albanian *vabja, connected with Old Church Slavonic вабимо (vabimo, “being lured”), Gothic 𐍅𐍉𐍀𐌾𐌰𐌽 (wōpjan, “call out”), Old English wēpan (“weep, cry”).
