for 1: if you mean with "z" the sonor "s" then I guess the intermediary
*z there is a wrong postulate. The "gj" is to explain other way, via an
another "altered" sound, but not from a clear "z" as in Slavic "za".

for 2: s > sh regardless if the following vowel was stressed or not, see
the final "sh" or Latin loans (sh�l�, sh�kull, sh�nj�)

if my opinion is true for 1 & 2, then 3 & 4 are not to use.
