So to resume
gWH>g,
gWH>z ,
gWH>h ,
gWh>f ,
and gWh>s as in <<<<[AK] esëll `sober' probably from *o:gWh-el:>>>>
isn't it?

and so on...

Could you imagine that something is wrong here?

We ONLY have

I) *gWH/- > PAlb. g
*degWh-o > PAlb/Dacian djega (see Dacian Diegis) > Alb. djeg

II) *gWH/+ > PAlb. g^ > z
*gWher-m- > PAlb/Dacian g^erm- (see Dacian Germisara) > Alb. zjarm


Could you imagine that
1. fik is not from *dhgWhei-
2. esëll is not from *o:gWh-el
and that
3. finally all your suppositions from 1 to 6 are wrong?

Wake up, please...

P.S. Also There is no 'regular interchange h > f '
-> "h~f is a dialectal variation"

In addition: whenever we don't have this dialectal variation at least
in one dialect the source is not an intervocalic sk>ks
