Hello Miguel,
I proposed you to take the Latin Loans in Albanian in order to
discuss the reflex of Latin /di/ to Albanian, but you have ignored
this argument.

I'm obliged to put in equation this fact too, because it shows
that ep-Albanians had 'some problems' too, to reproduced Latin /di/.

Lat. dirigere Alb. drejtoj
Lat. directus Alb. derjt
Lat. vir[i]dis Alb. i/e verdhë 'yellow'
Lat. judicare Alb. gjykoj
Lat. medicus Alb. mjek

Conclusions: Both lp-Albanians and ep-Romanians HAD PROBLEMS to
reproduce the Latin /di/. I don't know how this Latin /di/ was
pronounced but for sure BOTH Romanians and Albanians had problems to
reproduce it.

So you have to review your Albanian examples based on the
Reflexes of Latin /di/ in Albanian (in order to establish the correct
correpondances with the Reflexes of Latin /di/ in Romanian)...

Best Regards,
marius alexandru
