Hello Abdullah,
Thanks for this update.

I'm confused because my arguments doesn't fit at all your
arguments.

Could you tell me if albanian /h/ is very old (pre-albanian) or is
more recent (like IX - X century or later)?

Thanks again and Best Regards,
marius a.

P.S. By the way, why 'hame:s' is without /sh/? It's an inherited
word or a loan?
