Dear Jens,

Buzuku's old Geg text, as you characterized it, is full of Tosk
variants. I buy "Meshari" again and I start to reread it again. It is
well-known fact that are also the forms with rhotacizm used
in "Meshari", but sometimes we can't see the tree from the forest.

I will come back with all material I could gather.
