Is what I have said also: having borë and dë-borë for sure that d-
or dë- is a prefix. Please read my postings again, I have said the
same thing.
If the root was *apa- 'water' > *apa-da-ra/*aba-da-ra for sure dz-apa-
da-ra is a prefixed form, isn't it? (as I have already said)
Where I not agree with you: is the etymology of this prefix :
'near' to what? 'snow' = 'near snow'? or 'snow' = 'at snow' or 'snow'
='to snow'...This doesn't have any sense...
So the d- here is more probable from the same phonetic pattern as in
Alb. dhemjë versus Alb vemjë > PAlb *dz-o:mida:/*o:mida: => Romanian
omidã
