*bha:-1 `to shine'. Oldest form *bheH2-, colored to *bhaH2-,
contracted to *bha:-. 1a. Suffixed o-grade form *bho:-sko > Palb.
beh in <zbeh> `to make pale, fade; literally to loose the light' (z-
privative suffix, probably voiced variant dz- of *ts-); b. Variant
form <bef> in <i beftë> `sudden, unexpected; literally like
lightning', adverb <befas> `suddenly', abstract noun
<befasi> `surprise'. 2a. Suffixed and extended zero-grade form *bhH2-
n-ya > Alb. <bânj/bënj> `to do; literally to bring to light' (cf.
Gr. phainein `id.'); b. suffixed zero-grade form *bhH2-ti >
bas `creator; literally the light, appearance (cf. Gr. phasis and
one of Jesus' sentence "I am the light"). 3. Extended basic root
*bha:t-eH2 > Alb. <botë> `world, white clay' (same formation we may
notice in Sl. svijet `world' and <svijetlo> `light' as well as in
Romanian <lumina> `world, light'). 4. Prefixed participle form t-
ban `herdsman's camp for dairy animals', probably from *bhH2-no,
that was later substantivized. 5. Deverbative of this substantivized
partiple is <ban-oj> `to dwell', <ban-esë> `apartment', <ban-
or> `inhabitant' etc. (Pokorny 1. bha:- 104.)
*bha:-2 `to speak'. 1. Alb. <z-boj>, <dë-boj> `expel, banish,
excommunicate', probably from suffixed extended form *bhH3-n-yo of
*bho:-, meaning preserved in Old Norse <banna> `to prohibit, curse'.
2. Probably suffixed zero-grade form *bhH2s-ko >
bashkë `together', , <bashkëshort> `spouse, husband: second part of
compound is probably Lat. sors, -tis `fate, destiny', so literally
means to have together same destiny', <bashk-i> `municipality',
<bashk-oj> `to unite, band together, connect' etc. (cf. Italian
<bandire `to muster, band together' from Gmc *ban-wan, *bannan). 3.
I guess to that Alb. prefixed form <m'u d-bue> `to copulate',
especially the act of copulation between the bitch and dogs,
synonymic with the verb <m'u ndjek> `to persecute' should be related
to participle o-grade form *bho:-no (Pokorny 2. bha:- 105.)
