Rom. pãstaie ~ Alb. bishtajë => Example of p>b vocalization in Al

1. I have abandoned the idea that the intervocalic b in Albanian
dëborë -> was there in PAlb/Dacian? Times. Otherwise, for sure would
have been lost 'meanwhile'. In this case, also the ph3 PIE cluster
wasn't present in Albanian dëborë...

2. If my etymology for 'snow' is true the Dacian Forms were

*apa:dara: and *dz-apa:dara: and that p was vocalized Later in
Albanian

3. A similar vocalization p > b in Albanian is present in
Romanian pãstaie > Albanian bishtajë

I'm not yet sure what really trigerred this p > b vocalization in
Albanian (that is not a general Albanian transformation) but at
least you can see above a second example.
