語源

From Illyrian. Ultimatily disputed.

• The spelling Vend- should be preferred since the initial a- could be a later Latin prapeposition agglutinated. Tentatively the name could be related to the nasal form of the IE root *ueid- 'to see, know', like in the Gaulish adjective *vindos 'white'. Actually, the town belonged to the Iapodes, often related to the neighbouring Celtic Carni. Less likely, if the original spelling was Avend-, the IE root *au(e)- 'to flow' could be invoked, more precisely, a participe form *auent- 'the flowing'.Sciaretta, Antontio. ^[1]

• Possible cognate to Albanian vend, suggesting the toponomy of "the Place"^[2]

• From 1705 to 2004, over 60 different scholars have claimed that the modern Albanian language is descended from Illyrian ^[3][4][5]. This would Put the reconstructed Proto-Albanian Proto-Albanian *wen-ta as an ancestor to the modern Albanian word and Illyrian toponym. It is also the gerundium of Proto-Albanian *awena^[6] However, lack of any incriptions may not be sufficient to sustain any clear identification of linguistic affinities.
