In PIE exists two roots *H1er- 'set in motion' (horizontally) and
*H3er- 'set in motion' (vertically), but their similarity in meaning
made them laible to confusion (Mallory-Adams, 391).
If we start from regular verbal phrase: u çue një erë 'the wind rose'
then we may assume that Alb erë 'wind, odor, smell, perfume, scent,
aroma' is derived from second theme *eH3r-eH2 of first theme *H3er-,
so it has cognates in Latin orior 'rise', till forms in *neu- present,
i.e. Skt r.noti 'sets in motion', Av &r&naoti 'sets in motion', Grk
ornu:mi 'stir up' and Arm y-arnem 'stand up' seem to have both
meanings. Hit arta 'stands, is present, occurs' must reflect *H1er-,
but semantically is compatible only with *H3er-
