Well, by the time Lat. ce:pa (thus, rather than <caepa>) and caelum were
borrowed into Albanian, the vowel was already Balkan Romance */e/ or
*/E/ and was treated accordingly in Albanian, /E/ being equated with
native *iä (<je>) and developing regularly into /ie/ in <qiell>. I can't
see a group of vowels in either case.
PiotrI don't like to argue, but how do you explain in this case the Geg variant <kepa>: where do you see /ie/ that will couse probably palatalization of velar /k/ as it did in <qiella>, where probably we have to deal with diphthong. And, if we follow your explanation, why, for example, Alb. <nge> from <ngae> didn't couse also the palatalization of velar etc., etc.Konushevci
