What in Heaven's name is "&ari"?
And are you actually saying that Hurrian is PIE?
========
The cuneiform for hurri can be read
&uri or &ari
as in &aryan.

============
You consider that "Varuna can't be derived from either Ouranos nor
?uruwana".
But it is perfectly possible for all three to reflect PIE *weru-na.
===========
Absurd
Greek should be *eruna
Hurri should be *waruna
None exists.
