*H2kous-n-yo > *kas-n-yo (*H2 attested only in Greek; *ou > Alb. /a/)>
*ka:njo (loss of /s/ cause the lengthening of preceding vowel *–asn- > -
a:n-) > *konj (*a: > Alb. /o/), later prefixed form n- (<*H1en) + konj
> ngonj `I hear'.
(cf. Eng. to hear, Gr. akuein `id.', Serb-Croat. <c^uti> `to hear').
Geg form seems to be regular, as phonetically, as semantically
speaking, but problematic is Tosk form <dëgjoj> `I hear', derived from
prefixed form dë-koj, that, according to Barich is akin to
Greek "akuein".
I wonder if also Alb. <shqisë> `sense' is also derive from *sku:d-ya
(cf. Serb-Croat <c^ulo> `id.').

Any help?
