A) There are other derivations for Alb ty than a supposed
contraction from < *tuwe:m
See an example at:
http://www.indo-european.nl/cgi-bin/response.cgi?
root=leiden&morpho=0&basename=\data\ie\alb&first=441&sort=albform
Demiraj:
Notes: {1} Further case forms: ty m/fd/a `(to) you', proclitic të
`id.' < Alb. *tui:, m/fb teje `from you' < *toi- with -je-enlargement
from the nominal system.
b) Also you cannot reject a replacement from the Nom. form:
Alb. ty < PIE *tu:
We need another example showing an u: 'from a contraction'...
