I have doubts about such a semantic shift . The word bro:scus is unknown
to me , maybe can someone find it and tell us what about.
As for the compound word *per + sufix "ka" it wont explain the "s" here,
and it will let open the germanic forms " frosc-"
The suffix "os" which exist in Romanian is seen as the old Latin "os"
not the PIE "os".
A question. Which is the corectly paar in albanian for feminine and
masculine form of this suffix?
In Rom. We have os/oasã ( making adjectives mâniOS (masc) = mâniOASA
(fem). Is in albanian just the feminine "osa" like in female pig?
