What is 'aru-', to what language does it belong, and what
reason do we have to believe it's related to 'arya-'?

We have no certain etymology for 'arya-', which means that
nobody can say that it "probably" means 'pale-colored'.
In fact, the only possible cognates of 'arya-' of which I
am aware, are the Greek 'ari-' and the Latin 'alius', and
neither has anything to do with color.
