About Alb vis 'country, land, region' I have written in sci.lang:

*weik'- `clan'. 1a. Alb vise `countries, lands, regions' from *woik'-
iaH2: Greek oikia `a dwelling, house'; b. Alb singular vis seems to be
formed from vise: Skt viœah `dwelling, house', Latin vicus `quarter of
a town'. 2. Alb compound mjedis < mjed-vis `environment, milieu,
surroundings, setting'. 3. Alb compound amë-vise `housewife,
housekeeper, contriver'. 4a. Alb fise `clans, tribes' from prefixed
form *k(o)- > woik'iaH2 > PAlb *kwaik'ya:;b. Alb fis 'clan, tribe' is
formed from plural fise. (Pokorny weik'- 1131.)
