parafingu

Albanian term or phrase: parafingu
A car owner talks about the window at the front of his car and uses the word parafingu. It means windshield, evidently. But I can't find it on the web (in this context), the closest I get is parafango, Italian for mudguard. I hope I am not abusing Proz.com, asking out of curiosity for an explanation to something I already know what it means.

Explanation:
Fender or splashboard. Normally the word in Albanian is "parafango" which has Italian roots. Basically it is the front part of the car.

"Xhami i përparmë" is the windshield. Based on the versions provided, the reference is for the windshield. Again, as mentioned, parafingo is something else unless Kosovo Albanians use it to refer to the windshield.
