Prefixed and extended in verbal suffix -yo *n-gWet-yo this root
derives in Albanian verb <ngjes> 'to glue, to affix', noun
<ngjitës> 'glue, resin', probably through diphthongation of /e/ and
treating this labiovelar as pure velar. Taking into account also verb
<ngjesh> 'to press, to compress', derived from *n-g^hes-yo, I think
that we may found the rule that palatals and labiovelars, preceding
by nasals, are treated in Albanian as pure velars.
