Patrick, in Romanian there is a term 'Gicã-Contra' ...

If Albanian word 'karpã' means 'rock' and the Mountain Names was
*Karpa:tya (currently /KarpaTi/) => guess what is the mneaning of
Karpathians Mountains?

But the point here was the meaning of suffix -tya: 'made by'
(rocks, in the above case) that can be applied only to nouns not to
verbs...and the discussion was about kmesë...< *ak^-mo:n-tya:

Patrick:

In addition to other problems with this analysis, I do not believe PIE -*tya: means 'made by'.

As a nomen actionis, -*t-y- indicates 'something capable of being repeatedly done (in the future)'; as a nomen agentis, 'someone expected to repeatedly do something (in the future)'.
