In Albanian, the word for rainbow is “Ylber”, possibly an ancient compound word of “Yllë” meaning star and “Birë” meaning son, so a rainbow is the result of or product of a star. This makes sense because rainbows are associated with the Illyrian equivalent of Aphrodite, goddess of the morning star, Venus.

It's sad that now the first thing we associate with rainbow is lgbt but not terrifyingly narrow human perception of radiation
