Latin "die"? I could find just diecula, dierectus, dies (= old latin
genitival form for "Gott"= PIE *dieus"), Dies Piter= Juppiter
Maybe is there a connection with "sugo"?
The Germanic has too "saugen" as Latin "sugo", Ahd= "sugan".
the PIE root should be *seu-, *seWa.
I wonder why latin and germanic developed this "g" from PIE *seu,-,
*seWa-
And if Albanian should belong maybe here why lost the "s" ?
