One can see it from the plane that you are trying in your outrage to
nullify all my attempts to derivate some Albanian words, containing
labiovelars. That the labiovelars, together with the palatals, are
of crucial importance, there is no doubt. Could you, for example,
imagine that PIE *kW have yielded in Greek /t/, /k/ and /p/ or *gWh

> /th/, /kh/ and /ph/, but *gW > /b/, /d/ and /g/. Look, for

instance, *gW > /g/, but *gWh > /kh/, but not /gh/. Or, you must
know better Latin, for, as we have seen you can't distinct article
from Greek nouns, as you cannot distinct also adverbs from
adjectives, like in your previous post, aspirated voiced labiovelar
have yielded in Latin: gu, g, v, f-, till in Gothic g, gw and w.
Quite interesting, isn't it?!
Instead of your open intention to nullify or my etymologies, why you
and your master too, do not give other explanations. I will try to
help you and your master too, i.e. in Alb gjuhë `tongue', -hë is not
from *-g'hWa:, but from –x or –y or –z. Or, Alb adjective (i, e) leh-
të is not from *legWh-/*lagWh- but from different root. So, you may
continue to say that Alb deh `to become drunk' is derived, according
to Orel, from *deg-ska < *degWh-ska, instead of *d-o:gWh- and Alb
esëll `sober' to derive from compound *n. - + sillë etc. In this
context, I see /s/ as allophone of /z/, as I see /h/ (in Albanian)
in many contexts as allophone of /f/.

You claim:
Could you imagine that
1. fik is not from *dhgWhei-
2. esëll is not from *o:gWh-el
and that
3. finally all your suppositions from 1 to 6 are wrong?

Wake up, please...

Yes, I could imagine, but when you prove that Alb fik is from
different root and I will finally, not 1-6-, but 1-8 are, for your
pleasure, all wrong.

And, in the end, I think that like Dusan Vukotic, like Polat Kaja,
like Marsius Alexandru are all cranks, as are their masters.
