Dear Alex
Albanian hirrë "Kasewaser" is realy from *sker with at most regular
evolution of cluster sk- > h- (cf. Alb. i huaj < hon "foreig" and
Greek ksenos through metathesis; Alb. hana "moon" < PIE *skand-;
Alb. hije "shadow" (cf. Greek skia), Alb. hudra "garlic" (cf. Grrek
ta skorda "garlics"), Alb. hell "skewer" < PIE *sko:los, Alb. i
hollë "thin" (cf. Greek skeleton), Alb. hap < *skep- "spalten"
(Meyer, p.146), Alb. njoh "to know" < *gnosco, etc.
I must confirm that hajvan "animal" is oriental loanword.
