I seen Romanian "zer" as the same as Latin "serum" and Albanian "hirrë".
The question is if Albanian "hirrë" can be from the same root as the
serum and zer.
We can try with "hagrep"= skorpion sakrep= skorpion where "h" < "s" and
with methathesis? Which is the ethymology of hagrep in Albanian? Upsss..
Did someone asked abotu the ethymology of "Zagreb"? seems to fit here:)
OK, is possible to have an albanian "h" from an "s"?
I ask it because there is romanian "saivan" and Alb. "haivan" , romanian
"a sapa"= to dig, = Alb "hap"= to dig and much more. any comments?
