Thanks!

Actually, "*rey" is a shortened form of "*rek" ("to pole up"), which has the descendants by an o-grade in Germanic:
 * Germanic:
 * Old English: "roccian"
 * Middle English: "rokken"
 * English: "rock"
 * Old High German: "ruccan"
 * German: "rücken"

The descendants of "*neh₂": (with the typical change of e to a in Indo-Iranian languages)
 * Indic:
 * Sanskrit: "नाथ" (natha) ("help")

The root "*newd" has no other descendants than the Germanic.

The descendants of "*dʰer": "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/d%CA%B0er- (I've added some to it). Probably this is the most valuable of these.
