Thanks!

But I also think that a-sounds were always welcome for to descend into Indo-Iranian languages. A good example that for is:

ghelh₂ed (ice): Notes: Change of "g" to "s" (typical for Persian), change of first "e" to "a" (typical for Indo-Iranian).
 * Persian: ژاله (zhala) ("hail")

The descendants by the o-grade I didn't remove, but enhance since I added the Proto-Germanic verb to it. Also, there was no Middle High German verb "tamen", but "tarnen". The term "tarni" was correct but already in Old High German "tarnan" existed, so I replaced it that with. I think my edit in the Germanic descendants on "*dʰer" was good, also since I added the forms of the zero-grade and other descendants.

By the way, so as example Icelandic "drottning" is by the zero-grade, thus: "*dʰr̥" descended "*dur" and so contraction "*dru".

But can Danish "dreng" then have descended of "dʰer"? By the short e-grade and then contraction?

The where I found "dʰer" doesn't thematize the root's inflection directly, but if the second root is that one, I assumed it as the athematic form.

I don't think we can use "*rey" since it has no descendants. And what does this Kluge's law mean?

For the sentences for the language boxes in Proto-Indo-European I suggest that we need the masculine and feminine suffixes for to form a noun of "*dʰer".
