It should make your day, specialy when you will find out that rom.
"bât", ill<rian "veter" ( actual< alb vjetër) are more old as the Latin
vetus & veteranus . The rom. word is the most old of them since the form
is with "b" as expected from PIE *gW. If you ask for explanations I
won't be sad, but if I tell you that gW > b in Rom. and /b/ > /v/ _just
when followed by /e/ or /i/_ ( allways this e and this i )I guess you
got imediately the idea specialy if you are familiary with the italic
dialects , specialy faliscan, umbrian, oscan for the words a "life", "
come" and " old".
Mr. Iacomi, the rothacism is athested in Latin already, even the
rothacism of intervocalic /n/ not only of /l/. I guess you don't ask me
seriously to bring you some examples, do you?

On the meaning of the word and the rom word "zvarcoli". I guess you got
the idea.

I guess here is a mistake of me in writting from memory the root *ulkWo
