  • Holm, Hans J.: 77-78
    With LIV² from PIE *sekʷ- 'anschließen / to follow (with the eyes)' via a cs.-iter. *sokʷ-éi̯e- > PAlb. saśā́j-sk̑-.
  • Orel, Vladimir: 425-426
    S.v. Alb. shoh ~ shof 'to see', from Proto-Albanian *sāksa with dissimilation of sibilants, further connected to PIE *sekʷ- 'to follow, see' (cf. Skt. sácate 'to accompany, follow', Gk. ἕπομαι, Lat. sequor, etc.).
  • Rix, Helmut: 525
    Cf. s.v. *sekʷ- 'sich anschließen' (IEW 896-7), under which Alb. sheh 'sieht, schaut' is tentatively derived from a cs.-it. stem *sokʷ-éi̯e-, but (marked with ?[; cf. n9.).
  • Schumacher, Stefan and Matzinger, Joachim: 996
    S.v. Old Albanian sheh 'sehen', where the traditional etymology from *sekʷ- (Orel 1998:435f., LIV² 535f.) is objected to on phonological grounds. The root identification is unclear, but the present stem ought to continue a primary derivative with a *-sk̑e/o- suffix.
