kodrës

Kodrës is an Albanian term that functions as the genitive singular form of the noun kodër, which means hill. As a grammatical form, kodrës is used to express possession or relation, roughly translating to "of the hill" or "the hill’s" in English. In everyday language, it appears in descriptive phrases and in toponymy where a landscape feature is part of a place name.

In toponymic use, kodrës can be found as a component of compound names that indicate a hill-related feature or location. The form reflects how Albanian place names often incorporate the headword for a landscape element (such as a hill) in a genitive or possessive construction. This pattern helps convey the relationship between a settlement or area and a nearby or prominent hill.

Notes on usage and status indicate that kodrës is typically a grammatical element rather than a widely recognized standalone place name. It is more commonly encountered within larger proper names or descriptive phrases rather than as an independent toponym.

Etymology and related terms: kodrës derives from kodër, the word for hill. Related forms appear in other Albanian toponyms where landscape features are embedded into place names. For further context, see also kodër, the base noun for hill.
