I hope that you agree that regular outcome of *g'h- > h- in Latin, *g'h-
> kh- in Greek and *g'h- > d- in Albanian. So, if you accept r/l
change of many PIE roots, I think that Latin hirundo, Greek khelidon
and Alb dallan(d)-yshe/ dallënd-yshe testify that we have the same
isogloss on these languages. The IE root could be *g'hel-/*g'hol- ,
probably suffixed in on(t)-.
