Reexamining Linguistic Assumptions: Albanian's Contribution to the Development of Latin and Greek"
Linguists claim that "practicus" (practice) comes from ancient Greek "praktikē", which originates from "praktikos", meaning "done". However, a connection between the Greek verb "praktikos" and the verb "done" and its forms in ancient Greek is missing.
An alternative origin of the word "praktikē" suggests that its embryomorphemes are "bër ti ke", meaning "you've done": 1) bër (done), 2) ti (you), and 3) ke (have). Additionally, the embryomorphem "kët" (this) from the Albanian language is possible.
Breaking down the word into its embryomorphemes reveals: "Bër" (done) with a phonetic change of b>p, relating to Albanian verb forms: simple past: Une bëra (I did); completed simple past: Une kam bër(ë) (I did), ti ke bër(ē) (you did), ka bër(ë) (has done); past tense: Unë kisha bërë (I had done). These forms give the correct semantic meaning of the verb "ke bër" (done) of "praktikos".
The embryomorphemes are Albanian verbs "bho" (do/make) and "ke" (have) for "praktikos", which comes from the past tense form "ke bër" of the Albanian language.
The origin of the word "practice" from old Greek is impossible due to the lack of argumentative form and content using the comparative method. This also concludes that the Greek language cannot explain the roots of the word, lacking a form of "ke bër" (done) that Albanian has as a main verb.
Breaking down the word into its embryomorphemes "bër ti ke" reveals a possible connection to the Albanian verb "bho" (do/make) and its past tense form "bër" (done), and the form of the verb "ke" (to have).
The lack of a clear root connection between the Greek verb "praktikos" and "ποιεῖν" (to make, to do), supposedly from Proto-Hellenic *kʷoiwéyō, along with similar forms in Doric/Aeolic ποιϝέω (poiwéō), raises questions about the conventional etymology of the word.
*Kʷoiwéyō has the root "kho" (to have), related to the Albanian word "ke" (to have), not with ποιεῖν, which is semantically connected to the root "bho" (do, make) [bh>ph] and "bër" (done) of the Albanian language.
Re-examining linguistic assumptions and exploring alternative explanations from the Albanian language highlights Albanian's significance as a language that has contributed to the development of other languages, including Latin and Greek.
