Re: [tied] Re: Romanian Verb Endings and Substratum influence (repo

Look, Marius, I have no resaon to dislike your explanation, because as
*so-, fem. *saH2, as *e:- 'this' with its variant *ya:i- are PIE
roots and I don't find first to be "beautiful" root and second "ugly"
one.
I really don't know how one can derives PAlb /j/ from PIE /*e:/ or
/*ya:i/, for PIE /*y/, as far as I know, yields PAlb /z/ or, porobably
later, /gj/ (cf. PIE *yes- > PAlb. ziej 'to boil'. Greek yeraks, -kos

> gjeraqinë 'hawk', in one place name Gjerek•ar, Lat. judicare >

gjykonj 'to judge', junctura > gjymtyrë 'extremity, limb, side' etc.).
So, I find very convinceiving Mr. Rasmusen's expalantion that there is
no other way to derive Alb. possesive pronoun <jonë> 'our' for animate
than from a PIE compound *saH2 + *n.s. In same way we derive <tonë>
'our' for inanimate, as well as <a•jo> from compound *au- + *saH2
'she', *au- + *so > a•i 'he', <ky> 'this one' < *ko(m)- + so, feminine
form <k(ë)•jo> from *ko(m)- + saH2 etc.
