Alb a-tje `there, thither, at that place', together with tu-tje `away,
aside' are till now very hard to be truly explained (see Orel, AED,
pp. 470), especially their second element tje, probably derived from
PAlb *temo: Latv nou ta:m `from there': OCS tamo `thither': Grk
te:mos `then'. The lost of nasal is noticeable also in Alb a `or,
whether' < *Haen- (cf. Lat an `or, whether' etc.). But, there are big
chances that in syntactic group (*au- + teHmo(s), *tu- + *teHmo)
second member of this group to be reduced in *meH-.
Any comment?
