gurëve

Gurëve is an Albanian noun form derived from gur, meaning stone. It is not used as a standalone noun in ordinary speech; rather, gurëve is the genitive plural form of gur and is employed to express possession or association, roughly translating to “of the stones” or “stones’.” This form appears in contexts describing features, materials, or groupings that involve stones.

In Albanian grammar, the basic plural of gur is gurë, while gurëve represents the genitive plural. The form is used with prepositions or definite constructions to indicate belonging or composition, for example in phrases like the wall of the stones. The genitive plural helps describe objects made from stone, stone piles, or rock formations in narrative and descriptive texts.

Gurëve is commonly found in descriptive passages about architecture, archaeology, and landscape features, where stones serve as a primary material or element. It also appears in toponyms and historical records that name or characterize stone-related sites, cairns, walls, and ancient constructions. Because it functions as a grammatical form rather than a stand-alone item, gurëve is typically encountered within larger noun phrases rather than alone.
