Re: [tied] Re: Some Albanian-Romanian concordances

Slavic lgs have two roots for "to kill". One is "u-biti" and the likes, and
another is "u-moriti" and the likes. The latter is older because the former
stems from the meaning like "to beat". The reason "(u)moriti" is so alike to
Lat. morire is because they both stem from PIE *mor-.
