Re: [tied] Re: PIE *aussiio-

Yes, they look similar, but they aren't. From the
historin phonology of Albanian we know that labiovelar
kw- reflects to Albania s-, so Albanian c^, according
to my view is the some kind of affricatization in the
biggining of the word. I find out that latin loan
c^moj < smoj < lat. (as)timare testifeis that s- at
the biggining is turned to c^. For this reason I think
that old river names Tyamos derived in Albanian C^am
and horonim C^ameria. But, at the end of the word, the
-c^ is derived form -tsh: vjetsh > vjec^, motsh >
moc^. So, we could conclude that c^- in this case is
dervied from oldest s-.
Albanian concordance of Latin quod, quid are sa, si.
