One thing I forgot:

> Greek haema, Latin sanguis, Alb. gjak

There's no connection here between any two out of the three. The identity of the original initial is accidental. Alb. gjak (*sak- < *sokW-o-s) probably belongs to the etymon of *s(w)ekW- 'flow out' and corresponds to Slavic *sokU 'juice', Lith. sakai 'resin' and perhaps Gk. opos 'juice, sap'.
