*H1ag'- `to lead, draw' > Alb. <hulli> `furrow', -lo stem of nsalized o-
grade *H1omg'-lo (*om > Alb. /u/, cf. *eg'hom > Alb. <û(në)> `I'), cf.
Celtic Ogam from *og-mo `furrow, track'; <mashë > `tongs, tool, fire-
iron', probably from mb- +ag's-eH2 (cf. Gr. hamaksa `waggon'); <ah>
from *H1ag'-sko > ah in <gërah> `to drive, lead', umlauted form <eh> in
<n-g(ë)r-eh> `to pull, draw, fuck': Lat. agere, Gr. agein. I guess that
also Alb. <bosht> `axle' is derive from *am-bhi + a:g's-to > (m)bë +
ost > bosht (cf. Sl. os& `id.', Lat. axis `id.' etc.).
It is interesting to be noticed that as root <*ak'-> `to sharp' as well
as root <ag'-> `to lead, drive' are preserved in Albanian mostly as
bound morphemes: *ak-sko yields Alb. <eh> in <preh> `to sharp', until
*ag'-sko <ah> in <grah>, <ngreh>.
Because I can't find any derivatives of this root in any etymological
dictionary of Albanian language, I dare to post this my observation in
Cybalist.

Any comment?
