No it didn't place a vowel there, where did you get that from?


 * dreuganan is not an irregular verb, it's a class 2 strong verb like many others. Strong verbs always derive from verb roots. Some strong verbs have suffixes, but there is no suffix -ewgʰ- in Indo-European, so it's clear that this verb was not suffixed. Therefore, the Germanic root must have also been an Indo-European root in origin.

There are two suffixes, and, which can be used to form agent nouns from verb roots. When attached to *dʰer- the result is *dʰértōr and *dʰr̥tḗr.
