Albanian term or phrase: peshirq (or peslirq)
Again: In a handwritten receipt from a goldsmith (in Mitrovica), some items have names that don't exist in my dictionaries, not even with the possible spelling variants. At least one of the words is Serbian, llanac (with the Albanized spelling of the receipt), but peshirq does not look Serbian (to me).
