You think that this happened in Proto-Albanian and as proof you
gave us a Latin/Italian example?


II. Abdullah wrote: "*au- + saH2 > ajo 'she' "

PAlb -sa: > Alb -ja: ...This is quite impossible.

See PAlb. *wausi- (Lith. ausis, Lat. auris) > Alb vesh 'ear'
See PAlb. *wesja (Goth. vasjan) > Alb vesh 'to put on clothes'
See PAlb *arusa (Lat. ursa) > Alb arushë 'she-bear'
So there is no PAlb -sa: > Alb -ja: ...

See again Romanian counterpart of Alb. ajo 'she [but also] this
one fem.' that is Rom. aia 'that one fem.' -> PAlb aja:
