Maybe the assumption that liquids block it is unfounded. Consider *ablu- > *a:blU-ko.
 
Isn't Slavic *vedro- related to Gmc. wedra- < *wedHro- 'weather' rather than to 'water'?

I have trouble explaining the length in Slav. <vydra> "otter" (Lith. รบ:dra, Latv. u:drs).  Why didn't -r- block Winter's law here?
