[tied] Re: Late Proto Albanian *3 /dz/ = Early Proto Romanian *3 /

Hello Alex,
I want to thank you for this presentation.
It shows that the situation of Albanian /di/ is much more complex
that Miguel and Piotr presented here... (related to the stability of
Latin /di/ in Albanian).

Seems that Latin /di/ in Albanian is sometimes stable, sometimes
not, but will be difficult for anybody to integrate your examples.

Also I'm not convinced that Latin /di/ in Romanian is never
stable. We have 'ridica' and 'ridiche' and I'm not convinced that we
don't have there Latin /di/ as Miguel sustained).

I want to ask you if possible to post the examples for :
<< All other words which begin with "di" ( there is
no *di:* in these words) have the actualy Albanian reflex "dj-" >>

Thanks again ,
marius alexandru

Beside the
