I guess that apical trill /rr/ leads to -rs- cluster, that yields
Alb. /rr/, as well as -rn-/-rw-/-rw- etc. So, <Sorrem> should be
probably from *ers- 'to be wet'. Derived from *Ros- 'dew'. So, we
may suppose variant form *rse-mo to come to Alb. <Sorrem>. In case
of Alb. <arati> there are chances to be from o-grade form *ors- as
nominal one of PIE *ers- 'to be in motion' (cf. also Alb. <derr>,
Hemp's etymology, discussed also in Cybalist), further suffixed in -
otia.
I think that Alb. <jerm>, <rrjedh> and <rrit> were also discussed
before in Cybalist.
