The problem of the Albanian word "b�rlyket"is that it has its semantic
conterpart in another Rom. word, and this is the verb "imb�rliga" from an (I
suppose) "in+bar+lig"
Interesting appears here something else. The word "-lig" appears to be the
counterpart of Latin "ligo" but the Latin word yelded in Rom. "lega" , thus
it cannot be of Latin origin. Of Albanian origin cannot be as well since
Alb. present the "satem" form of *lig-" or I make some confusion here?
