See: Oswald J. L. Szemerényi: "Introduction to Indo_European
Linguistics", Oxford, 1990, pp.95-96:
*kost- 'bone': OCS kosti, Lat. costa 'rib', but
*ast- 'bone': Gk. osteo:n, Lat. os (gen. ossis), Skt. asthi;
*kag- 'goat': OCS koza, OE he:cen 'kid', MLG ho:ken (both from
*ho:kina), but
*ag-: Skt. aja - 'he-goat', Lith. oZys (from *a:giyos).
Intendly I don't mentioned Alb. examples, seeing that no one is
interested, so I rest my case and other feedbacks.
