I got a bit irritated by the explanation trough "*k^" and "*s" just
because of some unconcordances between the Albanian and Romanian words.
For instance:

Alb/Rom

thumbulle = sâmbure ( I keep in mind here the word TâmburuS too)= pit
hurthë = cursã = trap
thep = Tep = prick, spike
thump = ciump (c^ump)
thërrime = fãrâmã = crumb, small piece

What I find strange here is that for the same sound "th" in Albanian
there are 4 sounds in Romanian. We see that:

th = f ; th = s ; th= T, ; th=c^; th = f

I can trace und understand the /th/= /T/; /th/= /c^/; /th/= /s/ but I
cannot trace the /th/= /f/.
which should be the explanation of /th/=/f/ ?
