My view about Alb. <rosë> 'duck' is that it was derived from *rei-
'to cry, bellow' (cf. rikë 'duckling' from suffixed zero-grade form
*ri-keH2) from *re:-t-yeH2, where -*e:- is a result of contraction
of the diphthong -*ei-.
As in madzare (Alb. <modhull>), as well as in raTa and Alb. <rosë)
we have the same equation IE *e: > Alb. /o/ and Pre-Romanian /a/.
