The Hittite language is old, written 1600 years before Christ. The Albanian linguist like Cabej and some others have classified the albanian words such as
*vesh/wear,
*veshja/clothing,
*vit/year.
*shtrydh/squeeze, them as borrowings from Latin.
I found in the Hittite dictionary these words:
wes- (I 1 a), wessiya- (§178) : to dress. - The middle. to wear (a garment). − and a w. : to cover (a horse).
wessiya- (c.) : to dress; cf. we-.
wesuriya- (I 4) : squeeze. - The middle. to push each other, to separate;
wett- (c.) : year (§76; id. MU(.KAM)).

If we apply simple logic:
1) Latin did not exist at that time, Hittite was written long before Latin.
2) The ancestors of the Latins lived very far from the Hittite lands.
3) The ancestors of the Albanians, the Illyrians, the Thracians, the Macedonians, the Epiriotes, were much closer to their lands.
The question that arises from this simple logical analysis is:
How did Latin create new words that were created before Latin?
The logical conclusion is: Latin did not create new words at all, Latin borrowed those words.

From which language?
If you compare the foms of the word, they are very close to Albanian words and not to Latin forms.
Vesh/Wear, Veshja/clothing, vit/year. The word for year is *vit on the Albanian language standard and on same varieties of Geg dialect is *vet.
The Latin words were borrowed from Proto-Albanian, possibly through the Illyrians.
So, I think that the theory of borrowing is completely different, and simply the judgment and work of Cabej in this regard, as well as the group of linguists of the path of borrowings, has no linguistic and scientific value for the Albanian language and should be excluded from the history of the Albanian language.
