Thanks, Piotr I suspected the same: the Dacian word was c^wa:rra:
even the phonetic distinction is not a big one (however visible in
Romanian), only this form can explain Romanian c^wara and Albanian
sorrë
But reagrding the 'global model on this area' (-> message/35524)' I
do not agreee with you
Please see below my model:
1. PAlb *wa/stressed > Romanian wa (written 'oa')
<-> Albanian a (with the lost of w)
2. PAlb *wa/unstressed > ORomanian w& > Romanian o
<-> Albanian & (with the lost of w and a/unstressed>&)
3. PAlb *wa:/stressed > Romanian wa (written 'oa')
<-> Albanian o (lost of w and a: > o)
4. PAlb *wa:/unstressed > ORomanian w& > Romanian o
<-> Albanian o (lost of w and a: > o ) (later & for some contexts)
As a note: Romanian preserved w 'very well'
5. PAlb *a/stresssed > Rom a <-> Alb a
6. PAlb *a/unstresssed > Rom & <-> Alb &
7. PAlb *a:/stressed > Rom a <-> Alb o
8. PAlb *a:/unstressed > Rom & (but I'm not sure completly about
this rule (seeing Olt & MureS & SomeS & Dunãre & mumã ) <-> Alb o/&
(but I'm not 100% sure about 8 and 9 (for Romanian) seeing Olt &
MureS & SomeS & Dunãre & mumã )
The rules above completely explain all the common words present in
Rosetti's 'common list'
Based on this my opinion is that 'there is no need' for a "PAlb
intermediary O: loaned in BRom as o or a" as you have supposed in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/35524
On the other hand, on my side I suspect that the intermediary form
of PAlb a: was *wa (not O:) and next the glide (w) was lost (later)
as inr the originar PIE clusters *wa/*wa:
This is also in accordance with the intermediary form of PAlb long
o: that was *we/*w& (containing also an *w) (as is reflected in
today Alb dialects in some contexts)
