lidhin

Lidhin is a term that appears primarily in Albanian grammar and onomastics. In Albanian, the verb lid- means "to bind" or "to tie." Lidhin is one of the inflected forms of this verb and can be encountered in dialectal or historical texts. Its exact grammatical function depends on the dialect; in many descriptions, it appears as a finite verb form related to a plural subject or as part of a compound tense. Because Albanian verb forms are highly regular but variable across dialects, the precise interpretation of “lidhin” can differ.

Apart from linguistic uses, Lidhin can also be found as a proper noun in onomastic contexts. It may appear as a surname in Albanian-speaking communities or less commonly as a place name, though it does not correspond to a widely documented town or region in major references.

The term does not have a widely recognized meaning outside these linguistic and naming contexts. For anyone researching “lidhin,” context—such as the dialect, historical period, or whether it is being used as a verb or as a proper noun—will be essential. See also lidhe, lidhje, lidhja.
