Sorry about that, I was just grabbing the words nearest to hand to
describe them. And I was not implying that the Romanian substrate was
'later loans from Albanian'.

So you are claiming that cãciulã/kësule is from PIE *kWekWVl- or what
(I assume Dacian was satem)? What does that match up with in Pokorny?
How come both *kass- and *katt- turn up in Germanic, NWBlock, Latin
and Greek, and how are they related to *kWekWVl- (vel sim.)?

I thought Alb. 'q' was /c^/. Did I miss something?

See above on *katt-/kass--
