Welsh has 'drain/draenen', Cornish, Breton and Irsh have related forms (I remember drinking in a pub in Spiddle (Eire) called An Dhraenen (something similar-my apologies to all) Dhu. Which would fit in to the t-/d- pattern.

we dont have a PIE radical in Pokorny's dictionary or in another
dictionar.
Can we suppose the form *tern for this radical?
We have in german "dorn" in english "thorn" and in romanian "ta:rn" for
instance.
What does speak against it?
