Lead story

In Ulqin the name is Aga Ymer — Ymer Ago in the south; among Arbëresh, Little Constantine. The engine is husband and wife, word of honour, return. It sits near the Constantine reunification family the way cousins sit near each other at a table — not the same chair as Kostandini and Doruntina, and not the lugat night-ride.

Aga Ymeri of Ulqin — husband–wife besa-returnRecorded
In Ulqin, Aga Ymer (Ymer Ago; Arbëresh Konstandini i Vogëlith) returns under besa to his wife. Motif cousin of Constantine reunification — living husband–wife return, never Doruntine brother–sister grave-ride and never lugat blood-pest physiology.
Ymer Aga frees Muji & Halili (LAN 106)Recorded
Scaldaferri LAN 106: Ymer Aga liberates the twin heroes. Cycle-peer name traffic toward aga_ymer WITHOUT merging Ulqin husband–wife besa-return (Vogëlith). Motif-adjacent rescuer — lock against Doruntine/Ulqin collapse.
Lugat spine — Ulqin belt & NMK Albanian villagesReconstructed
Same pest-revenant across Montenegro Albanian and N. Macedonia Albanian belts. Names shift (lugat, vampir, vurkollak); Meshkov affirms same complex. Struga boiling-water destruction = soft regional note only.
Doruntine footprint — Montenegro & Macedonia transmissionReconstructed
Elsie: ballad sung wherever Albanian is spoken, including Montenegro and Macedonia. Transmission tag for diaspora map — no Tetovo-/Ulqin-exclusive critical verse pinned;
Rozafa — Lake Shkodra adjacency for Ulqin beltReconstructed
Immurement + milk niche at Shkodër sit the same lake world as Kraja/Tuzi. Map adjacency for Montenegro Albanian edge — Barleti = naming only.
Rozafa and besa kinshipEditorial
Immurement and the Doruntine besa ballad are kin in oath/death grammar — parallel related, not one merged legend.
Aga Ymer ↔ Doruntine — motif cousinsEditorial
Aga Ymeri of Ulqin (Arbëresh Konstandini i Vogëlith) is a husband–wife besa-return. Kostandin e Doruntina / Dhoqina is brother–sister grave-ride. Motif cousins in reunification grammar — never the same ballad, never lugat physiology.
Vogëlith → Aga Ymer (not Doruntine)Editorial
Arbëresh Konstandini i Vogëlith is husband–wife Ulqin-engine traffic into Aga Ymer. Garantina/Fjoruntina name-cloud stays on Kostandin e Doruntina. Shared Konstandin- string is the trap — branch by plot engine, not by name.
