The rules have been set up, by Richard Wordingham, to transform PIE to Albanian. It is coded up from the lecture series by Piotr Gasiorowski. The first two instalments (Messages 29877 and 29908) are coded up here. Faults may be raised at the Cybalist Yahoo group, but note that Professor Gasiorowski has not endorsed this encoding.
