Outcome of PIE /*s/ > Alb. /j/
As we may see from the alternation <(i,e) gjelbtë/(i,e)
njelmtë> `salted', <ngjollë/njollë> `spot',
<ngjalë/njalë> `eel' and many dialectal forms <ngjoh/njoh> `to
know', <ngjeh/nnjeh> `to count' etc. there is outcome of *s > j,
except of *s > gj.
To my view, with respect to this rule, Mr. Jens Elemegaard Rasmusen
gives very clear and argumented defination that Albanian possesive
pronoun <(i,e) jonë> `our' has no other possibility to be derived
otherwise than from compound of pronominal stems *saH2 + *nas > jonë
(*s > j and aH2 > a: > o). First part is feminine form of pronominal
stem *so- `he', until *nas is pronominal stem of pronoun in plurals
*nes. Our opinion that possesive pronoun <jonë> `our' is really a
compoun, but where second part should be probably in zero-grade form
*n.s to be explained the lack of rhotasism in Tosk dialect, was not
disputed. I think also that as a compound could be treated other
Albanian possesive pronouns <tonë/tanë> `ours', derived from
*taH2/to + *n.s.
It was exactly this pronominal stem of demonstrative pronouns that
push me to treat the issue of Albanian demonstrative pronouns as
compounds, for prior we have the consent of this well-known scholar,
that first parts of Albanian pronouns could be recunstructed as we
have propose from PIE *ko(m)- and *au- (<H2eu). So, as it is cleat,
demonstrative pronoun <ajo> `she' (often used in form like <çajo> to
be different from personal pronoun), derived from *H2eu- + *saH2 (as
per Beeks *seH2) > au + sa: > a + jo > ajo `she' ( PIE *au > a, *a:
> o and *s > j). In the same way we could reconstruct <kjo> `this' <
*ko(m)- +saH2 > këjo (attested until in our times) > kjo. Due to the
same rule we may explain masculine forms <ai/aj> `this, he' and
<ky> `that' (<*au- + *so and *ko(m) +so).
Other evidence we have found in Alanian <tjetër> `other, another,
next (in sequence)', used as adjective, determiner and noun which
can be recunstructed from *sm.-ter > jatër (cf. Greek
heteros `id.'), thanks to evolution /*s/ > /j/ dhe /m./ > /a/.
Taking into account this role, we have derived the verb <njek> `to
follow, chase' PIE *sekW-
