Thanks a lot, Alex, because I havn't at hand Jokl's work.
But, I think that, as Delamarre have said, there are some words that
culdn't be a loan from other languages, espacially those related to
basic concepts.
Besides all, Alb. <katër> 'four' < *kot(w)er<*kWetwer is other
evidence of treating labiovelars as plain velars.
Otherwise, accept it Piotr or not, there is Alb. verb <sos (përsos)

*pekW-.
