I agree with you about the fact many words are suspicious. I just wanted to
put together the lexical data established by romanistic school ( please,
remember about their wide used sentence as Albanian being "half romanised"
language"). It was not my purpouse to establish the rightness of the given
etymologies, I just wanted to verify what does happen with Latin "e:" and
"o:" taking as valid data, the lexical material which is used for showing
the Latin loans into Albanian by the same romanistic school. I think the
change of PIE "e:" and PIE "o:" in Albanian did happen in the same time and
not in different period of times but this one should be prooved.Now, ho:ram
and terrae mo:to are suspicious too since:
-ho:ram is not a native Latin word, but a loan from Greek "ora". The
semantic
change ONLY in Alb. and Rom. where the word has the meaning of German "mal"
makes this word very questionable.
-terrae mo:to remains questionable to me because of Rom. "tremura" (to
shake).
For the last "t" in "t�rmet" see the same construction with "t" in "her�"
and "her�t"
in Albanian.
