Whatever the etymology might be (the official Rumanian one is
Lat. <plicare>), Rum. <a pleca, plecare> means "to go away,
depart, leave for; descend, lower, vouchsafe..." along with
all related meanings (e.g. such connotations as in "buzz off").
It also means, esp. when prefixed <apleca, aplecare>, "to bow,
incline" as well as (in the reflexive, with <se>) "to get
nausea, be sick" (on the verge of throwing up).
Methinks, a bit too different from the Alb. lexems you
mention.
