meanwhile we are familiar with false friends.
Maybe I give you a little help if I say:

1) try to derive fyell from *fluell
2) the words "fluier" and "fyell" do not mean just "pipe" in Alb. and
Rom. but they have a special use in both languages:

Rom.: "fluierul piciorului" is the same expresion as Alb. "fyell i
këmbes" meaning Unterschenkelknochen.

maybe that was a little help .
