En or Enji ({{IPA-sq|ɛɲi|}}) is the Illyrian god[1] of fire.[1] The name continues to be used in the Albanian language for Thursday (enjte). HistoryAccording to Karl Treimer, Illyrians worshiped a fire god named *Enji, related to the Vedic fire god Agni.[1] With the coming of Christianity En was demoted to demonic status.[1] The name En continues to be used in the Albanian language to refer to Thursday ({{lang-sq|enjte}}, {{lang-als|enjtë}}, {{lang-aln|êjte}}).[2][1] EtymologyThe Albanian name enjte continues Proto-Albanian *agni-, probably related to the archaic Indo-European word for 'fire' (PIE *h₁n̥gʷnis). The names of week days in Albanian are the translation of Latin names, so the word enjte translates the Latin word lovis diem, and enj- must be the Albanian equivalent of Roman Jupiter.[3] See also
