> Sorry, Piotr, I think you are wrong, because Alb. /y/ is mostly derived
from diphtong /ui/ (cf. yll 'star', pl. yj and yje, from very good attested
uvill 'id.' in many Albanian dialects).
Where am I wrong? Standard Albanian /y/ is a monophthong, and it mostly
derives from old *u: (whatever the intermediate stages and dialectal
variants). Do you question that?
