There is no *d- prefix in PIE.

What about :
dakru = akru
arbor = doru
arse = dorsum
eigh = deigh (to stick, to sting)
nebh = dneph (cloud)
etc
 
And there are a mountain of examples
when it comes to comparing PIE with other languages.
Like word "day" :
d-yew "day"
Semitic *yaw-m "day" "to-day"
As a matter of fact, Ju-piter has not #d-
when dies has !!
 
Orthodox PIE has **failed** to theorize
a #d- prefix.
But PIE had it.
No doubt.
