[AK]

All I remember and renew now for this purpouse are these words,
probably of Latin origin:

1. christianus > (g.) i kërshtenë/ (t.) i kërshterë;
2. latinus > lti:, but
3. petia > pjesë 'part'

[AK]

It's hard to say any thing for sure, but I know that /f/ <==> /th/
is very common in Albanian. For example, Alb. <i thellë> 'deep',
probably of IE origin *k^oil-os (cf. Greek <koilos>), has its
variant /i fellë/, mostly in south dialect, dominant in compound
<zgafellë> 'hole, cavity', but <këthjelloj> 'to clarify'. Cf. also
(t.) <thëllëzë>, (g.) <fëllanzë> 'partridge'. It seems that it is
more dialectal characteristic, unindependent of certain
circumstances.

[AK] No, it is OK.
