Elizabeth J. Pyatt, Linguistic PhD, Pennsylvania State University USA: "In 3200 BC, there were many, many languages spoken besides Sumerian and Egyptian, but they were not fortunate enough to have a writing system. These languages are just as old. To take one interesting case, the Albanian language (spoken north of Greece) was not written down until about the 15th century AD, yet Ptolemy mentions the people in the first century BC.* The linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that Albanians were a distinct people for even longer than that. So Albanian has probably existed for several millennia, but has only been written down for 500 years. With a twist of fate, Albanian might be considered very "old" and Greek pretty "new".

Lets look at something we already KNOW!
English= (to) Know
Ancient "Greek"= (γι) γνος
Albanian= (e, te) njoh
Its out of dispute that the root of the word KNOW in together English, Albanian, and Acient "Greek" is the [{kno~ /gno].
Online Etymology Dictionary
In Albanian the cluster *gn is equal to 'nj'.
The cluster gn is typical in Ancient "Greek" and Latin/ Neolatin languages.
We have in "greek" another word which is exactly the oppossite of 'know'- àγνοέω- not perceive, be ignorant, be unaware of.
This word, like easily noticed is formed from à (a negative prefix)+gnoeo(know, first person).
The verb 'know' in Ancient "Greek" is one of the noun components in the word foreigner(stranger).
A stranger is a not known person or a phenomenon, or a person that we do not know.
The word ksenophobia = kseno(stranger) + phobia(fear) = fear from people you don't know.
The consonant ξ is considered a double consonant formed from the smoth κ and the spirant σ (ς).
Therefore the word ξένο is pronounced kseno.
Kseno = ks(a negative double consonant) + e(conjucture article) + no(the primitive root for 'know')
MEANING: Kseno = stranger a person (I/we/you) do not know.
In Albanian:do not know=që se njoh
The short form in albanian is:
do not know= q'se njoh~ q's'njoh
Now let replace 'njoh' with the primitive root no=know.
The result would be: do not know= q'seno
The evolution of the smoth consonant K in Albanian is: k(voiceless velar plosive)-c -ç- q !!
