a) Well Richard, at least we closed the problems for ALL THE
INHERITED VERBS HAVING INTERVOCALIC D>DH in bi-syllabic words => the
DH IS WELL AND SAFE THERE...
b) Regarding other words (not the verbs) : here is a list of them
(but not all of them) with 'visible' intervocalic dh
vjedhull
i hidhët
hidhës
hedhe
gdhe (for sure intervocalic in PAlb)
edhe
kadhë
kedh pl. kedha
Do we have here enough examples Richard, or you want that I post
some more?
Could you explain all these examples 'via English', again?
But seems that for somebody is hard to say : 'well, I'm wrong
here'...
Best Regards,
Marius
P>S> Viewing all these, I think that to derive Alb. be from a di-
syllabic PAlb *bai-da: is not ok.
The lost of dh should be explain starting from at least a tri-
syllabic form *bai-dtsi-a: contraction of *bai-da-tsi-a: < PIE *beidh-
(form that explained also both besë and be).
