I'm glad that 'you finally find out' that this is Beekes derivation,
so at least now you 'can trust more' in it :).
(also Huld proposed a similar one).
I will try to add some of the arguments for a PAlb/Dacian?
*akmo:ntya: 'sickle':
a) 'In the past' the sickles were made by stone
b) The suffix tyo/eh2 (probably formed from to+yo at his origin)
indicates 'some instruments' that 'consists by'/'that are
constructed by' stone in this case => So the etymology fits
perfectly :
'sickle' = 'an instrument consisting by/constructed by stone'
c) Now please take a look at (It's what I did too: I tried to
find 'stone sickles')
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle
to see a Sumerian 'stone sickle' dated 3000 BCE => seems
that 'initially' PAlbanians used the 'stone sickles' too (no
surprize here)...so we have really an inherited PIE word (and Beekes
is very good :) in this case)
d) against your supposed syncopation bewteen k-V-m 'talks' the
Albanian këmishë <-> Romanian kãmaSã < Latin camisia (< Celtic)
e) Also an initial cluster km- could not survive like this ...
f) So only an initial cluster Vk-mV- could give an initial km- in
Albanian.
NOTE also: the depalatization of Palatal Velars in Dacian Akmo:nia
before m (n.r,l) (as in PAlb)
g) finally The Dacian Akmonia (Ptolemy) is 'a good link' too...

But there is no suffix -esë here, Abdullah: is *-mo:n- + *-tya: ...
and the phonetic evolution of -esë in kmesë [-o:ntia: > entia: >
