Re: [tied] PIE *aussiio-

I think that PIE root *H2ous-/*H2aus- derived in Albanian two words:
vesh "ear" < *H2aus- (comp. Alb. vet "self" and Greek autos) and (g.)
(g.) voth "earring" and (t.) vath . So the meaning of this root
is "ear" and "earring". For evoluation /-s-/ > /-sh-/ see: Albanian
është "is", standard form from much earlier ansht (comp. lat. est,
sll. jest, pers. ast, sansk. ansti). For evoluation /-s-/ > /-th-/:
PIE *su- Alb. thi "pig", PIE *ak-, Alb. ath- "sharp, bitter", etc.
