-më

-më
2 abstract suffix, as in melmë “love” cf. the verb mel-, \#cilmë “choice” possibly implying a verb *cil- “to choose”. According to PE17:68, primitive -mē and -wē were endings used to derive nouns denoting “a single action”, which may fit the meaning of cilmë but melmë “love” would normally be something lasting rather than “a single action”.
