I think that my propostion about the same morphem for birds names -
ks, like Latin: cornix, -icis; coturnix, -icis; Albanian çukapikth <
çukapiks deserve much more attention. We have also in Greek the bird
name phoenix, but also the beast name sphinx "stalnger", which is
very similar to Albanian word shtazë "beast" < *sta(ln)gwhâ, that in
one or other way remember us on hard memory when our ancestors have
to deal with giant birds, that was more killers than birds.
