as you see, the link between Alb. "peshkoj" and Rom. "pescui"
appears to be stronger since they are supposed to derive both from
an older *peskonj

in the said connection Alb and Rum have followed different paths
since for Alb. peshkatar, Rom. knows "pescar", using an other suffix
(-arius) while for instance for a word as hunter, Rum. use the same
"-tore" (vânãtor) but Albanian has in use the suffix "-arius" here
since the word is "giahtar".

it appears very interesting to me due the common history of both
language.......
