I still connect Alb. "dor�" with Rom. "ghear�"; the "sr" cluster
shouldn't be any trouble since it got reduced to "r"; then the "d" in
Albanian won't speak for a satem shift but a later one.
the "dh�mb" .. are you sure it derives from g^ombHos? I think here more
at "g^embHos".
Which are other IE cognates for *k^onid?
