qiradhënies
Qiradhënies refers to a system of land tenure historically prevalent in certain regions. In this arrangement, an individual or group, known as the qiradhënies, would receive rights to cultivate land owned by another party. The ownership of the land typically remained with the proprietor, while the qiradhënies held the right to use it for agricultural purposes, often in exchange for a share of the produce or a fixed rent.
