The logic that I used is more simple than your request:
The supposed *atsupeta: suspects tsu > c^u (both for Romanian c^ut&,
as for Alb sut&)
But, in the same time, he have in Romanian tsurc&, tsuic&, tsundr&
etc...
So there is no tsu > c^u in Romanian because the Romanian cluster tsu
is well and safe there, you can see it as I, in tsurc&, tsuic&,
tsundr& and is not a new one.
As result c^ut& cannot be sourced from *atsupeta: the result for
Romanian would be *at,upt& not ac^upt&
(to quote other similar words regarding their length and the initial
a- -> asupri, asurzi, ac&t,a, ant,&rt, arm&sar, apuca, arunca
NOTE that arúnc etc.. is accented on u, not on initial a-)
