1. a dissimilation fl<-> ll => f <-> ll to explain the disparition
of the first lin fyell is fully understandable (try to pronounce flyell
and next fyell and next decide yourself if this simplication is logical
or not)
2. before 'to descend' to some declesions patterns (you should
start first to present the declesion rules and the possible changes in
the root form influenced by these declesions -> if you really want to
demonstrate what is possible and what is impossible).
On my side I have a couple of words (Facts) showing you:
Romanian uje for Albanian ye :
==============================
a). Albanian nye <-> Romanian nuie (nuia) 'stick, rod, twig'
(DEX considering Rom. nuia from Latin novella -> if true, we have here
an original sequence *uwje (after e>je))
b) Albanian fyell <-> Romanian fluier 'pipe'
'Possible or Impossible' these couples exist...
Next to suppose here a simple coincidence is like to ignore these
Facts.
