I mentionated it and I forgot it. I try to repair that with this post:
===========
The group "do:"
===========
-in initial position, it appears just in one Albanian words ad the begin of
the word and its reflex is "do"
do:nare > dhuroj
-in the midle od the words, there is no Albanian word which shows any Latin
"do:"
-at the end of the word, there is no Albanian word which shows any Latin
"do:" ( no long vowel in Latin as well in final position I assume).
===========
The group "to:"
===========
-in initial position there is only one word which begins with "to:" and its
reflex is "do"
totum > dot
-inside of the words its reflexes appears to be "o" or "u" but never "e".
coto:neum > futue
Anto:nius > Ndue
sanito:su > sh�ndosh�
- there is no "to:" at the end of the word.
============
The group "co:"
============
- there is no group "co:" at the begin of the words. The usual "co" is
reflexed in Alb. trough "co", "ku", "k�" usualy.Since interesting is maybe
"k�" there are two words which shows this reflex:
cornuta > k�rruta
cortina > k�rthiz�
- there are two words which contain the group "co:" and the reflex of "co:"
is "cuV"
falco:ne > falkue
draco:ne > drangua
- there is no "co:" at the end of the word.
Once again, I like to mention I excluded the clusters "CCV/CCV:"" from the
presentation of this and previous posts.
