My view about Alb. <rrjedh> 'to flow', aor. <rrodhi> is that it is
derived from PIE root *wrH1g'-o> *wreg'o 'to break': Greek -rrhagia
from rhe:gnunai 'to burst forth'. (wr > rr as in <rrânjë> from PIE
*wrH2:d-n-ya:.

-sr- sequence has constrains in Albanian, especially in initial
position, see also OE stream, MD stroom, so I think that it will get
an additional /t/, like in <shtërpinj> (Romanian strepede) from *serp-.
