It is in part a verbum sentiendi, but involving a different sense. The
phonetics seem fine: *s- > gj- as usual; *a: > o, with umlaut then
e; g is palatalized to gj before the old y-present suffix.

************One other verbum sentiendi in Albanian is also <me níe> 'to hear', that, to my view, is probably derived from *sent- 'to head for, go; to hear' with *s- > j- in some cases preceded by n- (cf. nja 'some' < *H1en + *sm., njani 'someone', njek 'to follow' < *H1en + *sekW, even there are more cases without n- < *H1en, like: janë 'are' < *sonti, jes < *sed-yo, a•jo 'she' < *H2eu + seH2, a• 'he'j < *H2eu + so, <jonë> 'our' < *seH2 + *nos etc.).Standard form is ndîe: 1.to be heard, be felt, be detected 2. to make one's presence felt etc. Other derivative are: ndjesë 'forgivness, pardon', ndjesi 'sensation' etc.Kortland thinks that PIE *s- > Alb. j- is valid only when we have to deal with high stressed words.Konushevci
