That's surely enough time to make all the difference. Different periods,
different source languages. You haven't proved you point which was:

_Slavic_ *lt (in a word borrowed about the beginning of the 7th c.)
would have become Albanian <ll>.

I see no reason to accept such a proposition.

Anyway, I believe that the previous discussion of the "chisel" word on
Cybalish was exhaustive. I don't want to repeat myself, and anyone who's
interested in the problem can check the archive.
