I fully agree (I don't know exactly the notation: o^ or o~ here)
but in any case the Slavic form is *poro^c^iti so its not a simple o
there...See Romanian 'porunci'.

The rule here is: Sl. *o^c^/*onc^ > Alb. *o^si > Alb. *osi.

So we have the Sl. *nc^ cluster here that gave *s in Albanian and
not a simple Sl. c^ > Alb s.
