Abdullah, when e > je happened the accent was on the first syllable
in vjehërr...OK? I hope that you will agree at least with this
evidence

Now remains to quess yourself how old this e > je is if you have:
1. Dacian Diegis,
2. Albanian q based on an older *ke/accented etc...,
3. Romanian fierbe < Latin fervere...etc...

So you need to demonstrate that <<e/accented > je>> (that 'belong to
Dacian times') is "a later treatement" in relation with <<s-/w,non-
accented-syll. > zero >>

I don't want to say that it couldn't be true, I want to say that you
need to demonstrate this.

Because without demonstration, any supposition means nothing....

Next you need to demonstrate the reason of such a shift of accent in
pre-historic times....

P.S. As an example: Piotr proposed a metathesis swek^uro > wesk^uro
to avoid to go 'on such a difficult path' =>
To be honest with you : 'I'm more with you that with him here' but I
cannot demonstrate either the above points

The only (indirect) argument that I could find is that s/w- > zero
happened also in Frigian (so teh transformation could preceed the
split of 'Balkanic-IE-Peoples') but this is only an indirect argument
and we really need a direct one here...
