That is right. From the meaning there is "gudã" = bitch and "a gudui"
speakign about dogs when they are paaring them. There is the verb "a
gudura" = to fawn, to rub , speaking about dogs ( sometimes about people
too). Latin "gaudeo" meant too "ich freue mich, habe etwas gern" but
gaudeo > gudura is not possible. DEX see this word comparative with Alb.
"gudutis".( not Alb. "guduli" = kitzeln, rom. "gâdila").
In thracian space we have the King "Gudila" but like usual, we have no
idea what this name could mean.
I am not sure if I writte right now the root for Latin "gaudeo". The
words should derive from "*ga:W-edh-éio:" or from "*ga:Wadheio:"
Is there in Albanian an "k" from an older "g"?
The word is not so regional I see. You know it in your region, I know it
in my region too.
