And that will expalin very well why latin "ki" has been rendered as
"q" in Albanian. A such observation if true will tell us the "q" in
Albanian has its value before the Roman times I will suggest.

How I said, I observed the "t" versus "k" difference in Albanian, but
I did not observed the "gj" versus "d". You got me curious, I will
take a look.
