I hope that you agree that regular outcome of *g'h- > h- in Latin, *g'h-

change of many PIE roots, I think that Latin hirundo, Greek khelidon
and Alb dallan(d)-yshe/dallënd-yshe testify that we have the same
isogloss on these languages. The IE root could be *g'hel-/*g'hol-,
probably suffixed in –on(t)-.
