*bhel- 'to shine, flash, burn'

*bhel-1 `to shine, flash, burn'.

I. Suffixed o-grade form *bhol-eH2: 1a. Alb. <balë> `white blaze on
the face or body of a domestic animal' b. <balash> `with blazed face
or spotted body'; c. bal `dog with white spots; sheepdog'; d. bal-
iskë `patch of white on the face or body of domestic animal'; 2a. In
many compounds as a first or second element: <balë•drenjë> `goat
with long straight horns and a white blaze on the forehead', also
<bal•fllorë>; b. balë•mushk `goat with dun-colored hair'; c.
bal•dosë `badger' also <dosëbalë>; d. balë•sorrë `black ewe with a
white blaze on the forehead'; e. balë•krocë `evergreen rose'; f.
balgjosë `dark goat with white lines'; g. bal•mëllenjë `dark goat
with a white blaze on the forehead', etc (cf. Gr. phalaros `having a
white spot). (It was rightly supposed that the name of Belisarius'
hors <Balias> could be explained through Albanian.). 3a. Extended
root *bhol-t-a: > Alb. <baltë> `mud, dirt' (cf. Sl. <blato>, present
also in Rom. <balta>); b. <balt-ak> `muddy, slimy', c. balt-
ovinë `muddy place'; d. <balt-inë> `muddy ground'; e. balt-omë `mud,
filth' etc. 4. <bajzë> `coot' (cf. Lat. fulica, Gr.
phaleris/phalaris `id.'), probably from *bhol-dya:.

II. Extended root *bhleH1-, contracted to *bhle:- 1a. Alb.
<blozë> `smock-black, lampblack, smut', probably from *bhleH1-dya:;
b. <i/e blozët> `charred' (cf. Gmc *blewaz).

III. Zero-grade form *bhl.H1- 1. Alb. <blini/bliri> `lime-tree,
linden', probably derivev from suffixed form of zero-grade *bhl.-nu,
even to some my research *r.H1 as well as *l.H1 have yielded in
Alb. /ur/ and /ul/.

IV. Extended root *bhleg- 1. Alb. <bjeg-zë> with metathetic variant
<bjezgë> `Phlomis fruticosa', probably from *bhleg-dya:. Same
formation was found also in South Slavic <belica> `id.' from
<bel> `white'. (Pokorny 1. bhel- 118, bheleg- 124.)
