dhoma

Dhoma is an Albanian noun meaning room or chamber, a defined enclosed space inside a building. The standard orthography uses the diacritic form dhomë; dhoma is the non-diacritic variant commonly seen in informal writing or in systems that omit diacritics.

In everyday language, dhoma denotes any interior space used for a particular function within a home or building. It forms part of compound terms that name specific rooms, and it is encountered in architectural descriptions and domestic contexts. Depending on dialect, the word may pair with other nouns to indicate the room's purpose, such as sleeping spaces or living areas.

Etymology: The term is native to Albanian. Its precise historical development is not fully documented in widely available sources; some linguists discuss possible connections to older Indo-European roots related to dwelling or housing, but there is no consensus.
