too me it seems funny to keep inherited numerals but to loan other from
another language.
I think here at the Alb. "katër" which is considered to be a loan from
Latin.

Abdullah, it seems to me that the numerals ghashtë, shtatë, tetë, nentë
are suffixed forms with suffix "-të". Can this be the true or is just a
bad feeling?
