Albanian suffix –shor(e) is present in both Albanian dialects and
has mostly diminutival function: <kup•shore> `little cup',
<nan•shore>, <trim•shor/trimshore> `little brave man/woman',
<dëndëshor/dëndëshore>, <gur katër•shor> `quadratic stone'.
It is very productive in patronymics: Brai•shor (surname of our
minister of culture), Blak•shor/ Blak•çor (ksh > kç, cf. Floçkë<
Flokshë), Plangçor < Plangshor, etc.
See also E. Çabej, Studime gjuhësore, III, Rilindja, Prishtinë,
1976, p. 275.
P.S. According to N. Jokl it is of Romanian origin, but taking into
account last example <gur katër•sh•or> it could be a conglutinate of
two suffixes –sh and –or.
It affect even some Turkish loans <inatçor < inat•shor> `angry'
