Dear Peter,

Thanks a lot, for you have always support me in this journey.

What I meant is this paragraph: E. Hamp, EvfL., 123, sees a reflex
of an IE 'laryngeal' in the Albanian h. However, H. M. H.
Ölberg, KZ 86, 1972, 121 ff., has shown that Hamp's etymologies are
ad hoc constructions that cannot prove a 'laryngeal' origin for Alb.
h. (Frederik Otto Lindeman "Introduction to the 'Laryngeal Theory"',
Innsbruck, 1997, pp. 39.)
Because, I lack to much literature on IE linguistics, I like to know
Ölberg's view from someone that is much lucky one than I.
