Re: [tied] Albanian as a satem langauge

Hello Alex,

a) Each time when I see *g^Hesr(+ *-ah2) Romanian gheara 'DEX:
Unknown etymology' came in my head too.

Please see it at http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=gheara&source=


Should be in this case an ancient 'ghe' in Romanian Substratum not
related to any *gl ? I strongly suspect this.


b) Another strange thing: there are good examples of Alb s - Rom. c^
all of them suggesting an original c^ in Proto-Albanian and in The
Romanian Substartum but there are no examples related to Alb z - Rom
g^.

Because I couldn't suppose that such a strange asimetry could
happened I better suspect that something happened with the original
g^ words in Romanian Substratum. This g^ was somehow
transformed 'before' than the new g^ related to gi, ge evolutions
evolved (in fact this new g^ is only dz in Aromanain).

Best Regards,
Marius
