Looking further on derivatives of this root, I found out also that
Alb. <n•gjëronj> 'to sample, to taste'< *en- + sera:-nyo and
<n•gjër•atë> 'dip to be eaten with bread'(cf. Lat. insert) should be
derived from this root.
I think that there derivatives prove that also Alb. <për•gjëroj> 'to
have a deep yearning, to pledge one's love/devotion' is also inherited
word and not a loan from Lat. <për- + jura:re> 'to swear'.
