What is the truth of etymology of the Albanian language?

Albanian authors say and write even today and quote authors who wrote 140 years ago that the Albanian language borrowed *mokër(millstone) from ancient "Greek" while Matzinger today writes that it comes from the proto-Albanian *makana, slightly softened, but which comes from the Doric dialect *mākhanā́, “machine, tool”.
Ariola Kulla publishes a book in 2010 entitled "Albanian language journey from Ancient Illyria in the EU-Lexical Borrowings".
Ariola quotes Meyer that Albanian language has borrowed:
alb. Mochr, (Meyer writes mochna, not mochr) from "Greek" μαχανά meaning machinealb. cave from σπήλαιον (from the Albanian language *zbel/closed place) 
alb. Dark from δόρπον (from "do-erre(t)/ will be night of the Albanian language)
alb. bee from μέλιττa (from bletë (bee) of the Albanian language. *bletë/bee is a pictogram of B)
alb.petale from πέταλων [from Albanian llanguage *fletë (sheet)]
alb. angari from αγγαρεία (from aga-rre of the Albanian language, )
alb. milk from αμέλγω (milk) [From the verb mjel, marr (to milk, to take) of the Albanian language]
alb. donkey from γομάρι (from *ke-ma/that hold of the Albanian language)
By the way, the word *angari coming from part of a series of loanwords from ancient "Greek" dialects unattested and labeled as Macedonian because it was similar to the native idiom of the "Greek-speaking" population in the Argead kingdom. Seven lies and two big truths unverified word and loan from Macedonian. Borrowed from Old Macedonian *ἀγγαρεία (*angareía).
So, in other words, Albanian has borrowed this word from Macedonian a dialect of the Albanian language.
What interests me more is where the word *mokër/millstone itself originates, how the word *mokër was created, from which previous word and in which process and when it became necessary to create a new name in the old Albanian language. Logically it should be that the word mokr cannot be older than when the mokr-machine was invented.
What is the truth?
The first ancient method of grinding grain was the use of two *gurê/stones, which was much later called it the machine, which consisted of a large flat stone and a smaller rounded stone. Grains of wheat were placed on the flat stone and the smaller stone was used to grind them into flour.
Etymology:
MOKËR=
MOKER=
MO GER=G>K
ME GOR=O<>A<>E
ME GUR=O>U
WITH STONE
The root of the word is the old Albanian verb "me guri" which comes from the word *gur/stone. This verb *guri ended up as the verb *grin in the Albanian language which is the same as grind in English.
And today's linguists are far off the mark when they guess that the word grind comes from Old English *grindan, possibly of Germanic origin. It is said that no relatives of it are known, and perhaps it can be related nē distance to the Latin frendere 'to wipe, rattle.
The Albanian language says:
ME GRI GRURIN ME GUR.
TO GRIND THE WHEAT WITH STONES.
"ME GUR/With stone" became *MOKER.
That's how simple I can give the origin of the words of the Albanian language.

Grir(ë)/Grind
Grur(ë)/Wheat
Gur(ë)/Stone.

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development.  One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book.  I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin.  Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

  In this article I will cover  the origin of the letter  D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation.  It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world?  So what was the first language?  Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...
