Your etymology of sutë as *o:k'u-peteH2 'swift flyer' is a non-sense
due to the fact that in Romanian it has also the meaning 'without
horns'

Romanian c^ut& < tswuta: < tsu:ta: < k'uh-t-eh2 < k'uh-to 'the cuted
one' (-> 'without horns one')

To be sure that I'm right : Romanian has also the verb c^unti 'to cut
off, to short' etc...
