Alb. dorë= hand. It is supposed to derive from PIe *g^he:ra:
If we accept this is a soundshift which belongs to the satem soundshift
and this is not a late palatalisation ( which I doubt since if this is a
ordinary palatalisation must have took place before /e:/ > /o/ in Alb.),
then the period of time for this change should be seen somewhere 500 BC
or more recently?
