A lot of nonsense but I'll keep it simple, Labs have no tradition from Labeate, this is modern day word games, the clownery that comes out Albania. Laberia comes from Arberia, it is well known and understood. It is also known that Labs have impulses from Ghegs, some Ghegs migrated during the Ottoman takeover, possibly as refugees. There are traditions that certain villages or families in certain neighborhoods have origins from northern Albania. I am not shocked genetics reveal this link. This stuff as been talked about for two decades now, I remember reading about it 20 years ago.
There is no final conclusion where Lab name comes from, but it might have ben there even before Slavic migration, example. Lab - Labovo or maybe as you say from Arberia, that was not supported by Cabej. Like everything with word is an open game of speculation very difficult to prove almost anything.
