Interesting question !
 
My own guess :
it is known that Attic had [ü] for [u]
so that
we can posit that :
ghwer > gh-ü-er > palatalized gyh-ü-er > tyh-ü-er
ü is lost > tyh-er- > palatalization is lost
> ther

How did *gHwer- become *theros (vel.sim.) in Greek?
Was there a transition to **dh--- ?
There is a parallel in thermos, too right?
But how?
