*****GK: So it's fair to say (if Alex is right) that
the derivation of "Shqip-" from "Skuth-" is
linguistically impossible. Which does not, however,
mean that the Carpi could not haver participated in
Albanian ethnogenesis.*****

*****GK: Apart from the same question that Alex asked,
I have another issue. The Bessi were basically located
south of the Jirecek line were they not (in the
Rhodopian Mountains)? So they would have been
subjected to much influence from Greek. Does Albanian
reflect this?*****
