No. Alb, 'q' is /ky/ not /c^/

No. I'm not claiming this etymology:
Dacian was satem with the particularity that kW/+ > c^ gW/+ > g^
(as in PAlb). So, a supposed *kWekWVl- would give *c^ekul- , that is
not the case
As I said: PIE *kat- or only *kaT fits both Dacian *kac^- and Latin
cassis => so I think that we have a dental+dental cluster here:
(because PIE Dental+Dental > Latin ss ; PIE Dental+Dental > Albanian
s)
Based on this, my proposal for this etymology is *kaT-T-
(please to check if a Dental+Dental cluster fits the Germanic forms,
too...)
I'm still not sure about the sufix here and even if the root was *kat-
or *kad(H)- etc...
All I can add, is that: not having the rhotacism in Romanian the
PAlb/Dacian? word finished in -lw- > -ll- : *kaT-T-ul-w-eh2
If PIE *kaT-T- (Latin cassis, Rom c&c^ul& <-> Alb k&sul&) can be
fully demonstrated this will be extraordinary : because Romanian
preserved in this case the original output of PIE's Dental+Dental
constructions in PAlb/Dacian? :
PIE *Dental+Dental > PAlb/Dacian? c^ > Romanian c^ <-> Albanian s
