False etymology. Albanian <shaj> is similar to Lat. <insilio> from
in + salio and I see no reason to not derive it from *sal-yo.

Alb. < laj> is derived from suffixed o-grade form *lou-nyo > PAlb.
lanj of PIE verb root *leu(H)- `to wash' (*au & *ou > Alb. /a/),
comparable with Greek <louein> `to wash', Lat. <lavere>, Germanic
<laugo:(OE leag > lye) from suffixed form *lou-ka); lather < *lou-
tro.

In same way was created Alb. <qaj> (standard and Tosk form), PAlb.
<klanj>, from o-grade form *k^lou-nyo or (as per Beekes *k^leH2u-
nyo) > PAlb. klanj (attested also in Illyrian name
Vescleves `(person with) good fame, name') of PIE verb root *k^leu-
`to hear'.

Correct.

[AK]
Same formation we have also in adjective root *mad- `fat, weel-fed'
that yields Alb. <maj> `to feed' from PAlb. <manj> and this from PIE
*mad-nyo:. Other interestind derivative is <mazë> `cream' from *mad-
ya: (Pokorny, *mad-, 694-695).
> Alb. mbaj 'to carry' < ?
Alb. <mbaj-1> is hard to explain, for, there are all chances that we
have the verb from very different origin. <mbaj> `to feed, respect'
is secondary form of Tosk dialect of the verb <maj> (see above).
<mbaj-2> `carry', probably is derived from preffixed form of o-grade
form of verb root *bher- `to carry': *H1en + bhor-nyo > nbanj >
mbanj > mbaj. <mbaj-3> `to keep, hold, comport', intr. <mbahem> `to
be keeped, holded, comported', infinitive <m'u mbajtë> `to hold,
comport' , to my view, is derived from suffixed noun root *bak- (cf.
Lat. <baculum> `walking stick, rod'; Greek <baktron> `staff').

<ndaj> `towards' is derived from prefixed locative *ani > nd- + ani
> ndanj > ndaj (Jokl).
> Alb. ndaj 'to cut' < ?
[AK]
<ndaj> `to divide', also dialectal form <daj> is derived from zero-
grade form *dH2- of PIE verb *da:-, oldest from *deH2- `to divide',
suffixed in nyo (see Pokorny *da:-, *dH- 175).
> Alb. ngaj 'to run' < ?
Alb. <ngaj> `to run', inchoative verb <ngah> is derived by Beekes
from *gWm.-sko, so <nganj> from *gWm.-nyo (*m. > Alb. /a/).

I think it's a Germanic loan, if we take into consideration Geg form
