Zeus don't forget about germanic *tungo, Old Latin dingua, Oscan fancua which are all cognates to "lingua". Also our "gjuhe" is clearly a cognate to γλώσσα since Arbereshe still pronounce it "gluha"

Isn't that an obsolete theory?

A weird case is the word "gjeri" meaning "until" which, in Tosk dialect, is "deri". It is surely cognate with G heri and Latin sera but what about the existance of both /gj/ and /d/ at the same time? I am not sure but i think there is another example, the word "djep" meaning "cradle" in Geg...

There is also Albanian "rreth", pl "rrath". for me the ending in "th" reflex *roitko

i think it is cognate with OHG "kalo" (naked)

I have always wondered if that is also the source of albanian "ka" (ox) and "gul" (hornless ox)

The word "ziej" can also be found inside another word which is "nxeht" which means "warm" with t same sound correspondance of "zi" (black) and "nxi" (turn black). The strange thing is the /h/ in the end.

SORRY FOR THE FORMAT GUYS, BUT IT KEEPS COMPACTING THE TEXT IF I DONT DO SO, I DONT KNOW WHY. Hello everybody. I was thinking about a correspondance i found which lead me to a "rule" i established that can reconstruct primitive Albanian words. The inspiration came from the word "diell" meaning...

Hi, i recently read Vladimir Orel's etymological dictionary for Albanian language and i saw that no clear etymology exists for the word "zëmër" meaning "heart". Thinking about the sound shifts i initially thought about something like *widza-muna and i thought that there can exist some...

One of Earliest Farming Sites in Europe Discovered in Albania here is the link http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120416113013.htm

"throuim" is supposed to be "trembi"? looks like a fusion between "trembi" and "trauma"

PIE root is *lewh₃-

i asked why Orel's etymology was right, you responded with words from other languages without saying anything else

pjergull means "hardhi" or grapevine, exists in albanian

That is not the answer to what i asked.

also i will post this again cause i think nobody saw my post "can someine give me explanation for this: albanian "buke" means "bread" and Orel derives it from Latin "bucca" meaning "mouth". Why this cannot be derived from phrygian (Tracian maybe connections with illyrian) "bekos" meaning...

what is that from?

the PIE root *uer means "river" so the ones in *ver may be just PIE. The ones with "sal, if they are somehow salty rivers, may be another PIE root. *al means "to grow" or "to begin" so if those were settlements their root can be PIE. The one which is non PIE is *dur

these are the words i remember: Etruscan "tume" (tomb or to bury) Hungarian "temet" (bury) from "tom" (to put in) + "et" (live in) -- maybe related to τύμβος Etruscan "cel" (arise) Hungarian "kel" (arise) Etruscan "cul" (underworld) Ugro_Finnic "*kul" (death) Etruscan "zat" (battle) Hungarian...

i was thinking of this because of some cognates between some etruscan words and the proto-ugro-finnic languages
