Alb. n. pl. endings -at/-t

I guess that Alb. nom. pl. in –at for some masculine nouns and –t for
feminine one is more than strange (cf.n. m. sing. çun `boy', n. pl.
çun-at `boys', n. grep `hook', pl. gre-at `hooks' and n. f. sing.
fushë `fiel' and n.pl. fush-at `fields').
Taking into consideration many Illyrian tribe names, like: Autariates,
Dalmates, Docleates, Dardaniates, Oseriates etc. I think that we have
to deal with double plural endings: first is inherited Illyrian one –
at and second, for these tribe names end in consonant, -es.
I doubt did this ending testifies about early connection of PIE
languages with Semitic languages, for, -at and –t is a plural or
feminine ending (cf. mahluk `being', but mahluk-at `beings').
